Car, which was driven to the beach at Pandora, Spirits Bay, in the far North, in extremely adverse conditions, without the use of chains, is but further proof of the remarkable reliability and genuine suitability to all conditions met with in New Zealand. Negotiating numerous stretches of deep mud, which meant hours of high engine "revs.," forcing its way through scrub, stakes, and washouts, where roads were not known, the game little " bus " finally scrambled down to the beach at Spirits Bay without the slightest sign of stress or mechanical hold-up. On the homeward journey, pouring rain was again experienced, but the * Seven still running with unfailing regularity, was driven from Kaitaia to Waiwera on thts second day after overcoming deep floods at Oruru, and many leagues of clay roads, where other larger cars were hopelessly bogged. After this most arduous test, fraught with all kinds of difficult conditions, the AUSTIN SEVEN returned tp Auckland in perfect mechanical condition —thus again proving to the people of New Zealand that in design, strength, workmanship and performance, the Austin " SEVEN "is Easily the Best Small Car in the World." : II m* Mex- .■» T m m mi• m , Si m % Pi t-m "i kmm -V: v> m m m? tm mm 2> i ? *' m m m r > - > . r . • ■: "<- v •' v. -W:v 11; ''w..
