A BRITISH CAR’S PERFORMANCE
An * Auckland owner-driver with a ten-horse-power l British light oar is having a laugh at the expense of hie friends who run larger foreign cars. A •year old this month, the car has done 22,000 miles over the North Island without !?iving the slightest trouble, in spite of a somewhat low ground clearance. The owner took his family and plenty of baggage for a 1200-mi'p tour during the Christina© holidays, travelling down the West Coast and returning the other side of the island. Not only was the first cost favourable as compared with that of foreign cars, but this car averages 34 miles to the gal'on of oil, and it is light on it© moderately priced tyres.
