The ehgme was kept running while the drivers and observe _rs were changed, and a flashlight photograph taken. For the return journey, Mr L. Manghan, the well known motor cyclist, took the wheel, accompanied by Mr. H. It. Gronby, an official of the Wellington Motor Cycle Club. _ The car left Wellington Post Office, at 2.40 a.m. yesterday, and arrived back in Auckland at 1.20 this morning. The same route was followed on the return journey, and this distance -was again accomplished without a hitch of any kind, not even a puncture. Tin's reliability trial clearly proves that light British cars are capable of standing up to the rough road conditions met with in New Zealand. The petrol consumption works out at exactly 50 miles per gallon. Although not intended for a speed performance the car averaged 21 miles per hour both ways. Collett Motors Ltd.
