jyrEBRIE old England, although still clinging to its blood-red rousts and Yorkshire puddings, is managing at the same time to out foot. America in scuttling antique designs when th< idea appeals to the Briton.

Pomeroy, head of one ol Britain's foremost automobile companies, now prophesies a shuffling oi the seats in the motor ear of tomorrow.
