Sted man * VAUXHALL VX DEFEATS SPEEDING 'PLANE IN THRILLING ACCELERATION TEST AT RONGOTAI, WELLINGTON. «ii!llillil«i '-- -I 1 I s - . m WITH roaring engines wide open, car and 'plane flashed down the Rongotai runway .. . from a standing start to the dramatic finish pictured above. Right on the 100 yard mark the de Haviland Moth, piloted by Captain Stedman, hurtled skywards at 50 miles an hour ... at that instant the Vauxhall VX, two lengths ahead, surged to 54, just a few seconds after the start. Such acceleration means power . . . power for real top gear performance. The Vauxhall VX is the result of the boldest step ever taken by an English faotory—that of ignoring English requirements and the limitations imposed by the high hofse-power tax, The New 26 h.p.Y A U and building a powerful car for the rough roads and steep hills of the world. And what a car it is. Finely balanced, perfectly sprung, capable of high average speed, it worthily upholds the proudest Vauxhall traditions. In the VX, Vauxhall engineers have built a 26 h.p. (R.A.C.) engine that does all its work smoothly, in high gear. They have built too, English bodies crisply lined, graceful, luxurious to ride in—with all the niceties of equipment and the correctness that have been ever associated with Vauxhall. The new Vauxhall models are now on display in the showrooms listed below. It is suggested that you inspect this car—that you drive it. You will find in it a type of performance never before expected from, an English car selling below £IOOO. CONSIDER THESE POINTS 26 h.p. (R.A.C.) engine . . . 4-bearing crankshaft...
