This car is one of the most beautiful, and at the same time one of the most interesting, that have come to Auckland. There is a fine beauty about its long graceful lines, and rich colours that is really impressive. The engine and chassis are distinctly different—original but not radical. It has an extremely low centre of gravity, permitting greater stability on the road, a worm driven rear ax1e,.90 h.p. eight-cylinder motor with overhead camshaft, and is equipped with patent hydrostatic brakes with nothing on them to adjust yet inherently equalised. Another distinctive feature is the provision of automatic central lubrication for spring bolts and other similar parts, refilled mechanically from the motor when needed. There are also two spark plugs fitted to each cylinder firing the mixture from two opposite points simultaneously, to ensure greater acceleration. A speed of 75 m.p.h. is available when desired.
