THE NEW 1911 TORPEDO HUMBER.

The story of the re-organisation of the Humber factories under the erstwhile expert, of the great Mercedes f-rin, Mr Burford, and the consequent advancement of the Humber car from the ruck to the first rank of British automobiles is too long to tell.- It is sufficient t,o say that the Humber car to-ony is occupying the position that the Humber bicycle has occupied for long years past. The 12-20 h.p. torpedo body Humber car now to be seen at Messrs Adams Limited's garage, is M^ply a revelation m beauty of bodywork and magnificence of mechanical finish. Enamelled m dark green, with hi«h iluaV, sides and curved dash-board, iiT • «nes 'have all the prace and daintiness of a racing yacht. Its wheels are easily detachable, interchangeable, and of a newand handsome wire-spoke design. The engine is tremendously powerful, yet absolutely silent. It is, par excellence, the car of the day. The London price is £345, and with the addition of importation charges, the j»ame price rules' m New Zealand. Call at the garage and see the finest ISnerlish car of the year.
