BRITISH SIXES.

~-jN .strenuous trial. The adaptability of a high-class British motor car to colonial conditions has recently been demonstrated in Australia on the occasion of a team of three Vauxhall cars completing, without loss of points, a rigorous 24 hours 500 miles Victorian. Automobile Club trial, heavy rain lulling tluoughout the route. The road traversed ran through central, southern, and coastal towns of Victoria, leading over many hills and skirting elitls where the ability of the drivers to handle their machines was put to the test. In this connection it is interesting to note that the respective drivers had not beiore taken part in a trial run .in Australia. Conditions Were foreign to them; one had arrived from England four days previous to the undertaking, whilst the other two were resident in Victoria onlv a few months. ■

The tact of three cars (two 20-50 h.p. models and one 14-40 h.p. model) making the mn without losing a single point proves without a doubt the. unquestionable suitability of the Yauxhall to colonial conditions, its ease of control, the fidelity of performance.
