Total 10 hours 13 minutes Run under the auspices of the Canterbury Automobile Association, primarily for the purpose of proving that the West Coast is not so very far from the East Coast, and. that the absence of a bridge oyer the Waimakariri at Bealey is the only obstacle to quick, direct road travel, the record-breaking run also again emphasised the road-worthiness and pronounced mechanical excellence which, as eveiry Willys-Knight owner knows, is the strong feature of WillysKnight cars.
