It is the same type as that used so successfully on the Queenstown-Fairlio motor mail service—the longest motor mail route in the world. It is finished in grey, and complete with hood, screen, iive lamps, clock, and speedometer. It is a good, big, powerful car, and would do g.-iod service for a coach proprietor, as well as for mails.
