The announcement that the A.J.S. concern is to manufacture a 9 h.p. light car is hound to be of interest to all motor cyclists, and more especially to those who have ridden A.J.S. mounts. The new car is a four cylinder s.v. job having a single-plate clutch, threespeed gear box, spiral-bevel drive and differential. The price has not yet been definitely fixed but it will be something between £l5O and £2OO in England, it is stated.

A Straight Eight with an inherently counterbalanced, hollow crankpin, 9-bearing crankshaft —vibrationlers! A Straight Eight with improved aluminium alloy, Invar Strut Pistons, for positively unequalled acceleration. A Straight Eight with dual manifolding, for improved fuelization, and a new “high-high” speed jet in the carburettor which goes into action at 50 m.p.h.—maintaining the same fuel economy at high speed as lower in the driving range. And a Straight Eight built on a chassis with such unusual and interesting features as constantlylubricated steel-jacketed springs; cable actuated, fully enclosed, self-energizing 4 wheel brakes; automatic, thermostatically controlled radiator shutters, Bijur Centralized Chassis Lubrication, and many others, equally impressive.
