Its popularity is obviously of a lasting nature. • "Our correspondent approached the "Eight" with all the predjudice of the big car owner, only to find that there was ample room for driver and pas* senger in the two front seats, and that the driver's scat was easy of access, comfortable, and afforded a good view of the road. • "H was found desirable to use the second gear only twice on two very short stretches of the Ngabauranga Gorge and Packakariki Hill, going north. Thirty to forty miles per hour was found to be a nice touring speed on the open road, while the maximum speed was reached at 56 miles per hour in top geaF. The very practical and "nippy" second gear gave a peak speed of 40 miles per hour. • "On the return journey, the car just waltzed up the north side of the Paekakariki Hill. • "88 miles had been covered on two gallons, establishing the "Eight" as a real economy car, which will do 44 miles per gallon under average driving conditions. • "The full-length chassis frame is of special design, the side frame members being box-sectioned for lightness and strength, and down-swept for low centre of gravity. The long semi-elliptic springs are controlled by Luvax hydraulic shock-absorbers. • "Every owner-driver will approve the provision of dip-stick oil level indicators on the gear-box and rear axle, and the accessibility of the large oil fillers on these units. 9 "A very practical car for small families, for commercial transportation in the cites, or for a second car for those fortunate people who also keep a larger car.
