NEW CAR ARRIVES.

FINE ITALIAN CHASSIS. HIGHLY • SATISFACTORY TRIAL RUNS. Messrs F. Storey and Co., Hereford stret East, hare at last received the first of a shipment of the famous Italian "Bianchi" chaesis. _ Everybody converisant with motoring in Europe will know of the higlh. position these cars hold in the esteem of European motorists, and they will not be surprised to learn of its great sucoess in its trial runs in this country. The model that Messrs Storey and Co. are landing is the 12-20 h.p., with a net chassis weight of 12owt, capable of maintaining a. road speed of 50 miles an hour, doing 30 miles to the gallon of petrol, and 500 miles to the gallon of oil. The engine construction and finish reflects those refinements for which Continental cars were noted in pre-war days, but which is too frequently absent to-day. The "Bianchi" is made to conform with the Bianchi Policy of a 50,G00-mile guarantee, and it shows every promise of exceeding all that its makers conservatively claim for it. On a trial run, hill-climbing on the Hacktlhorno road, the Bianchi chassis developed wonderful power for the size of its engine, and negotiated the whole run on top gear. Again tested over the pot-hole 3 on the Sumner road, the underslung rear springs proved effective beyond all expectations, absorbing all sliodt and 3ax in a manner that would have don© credit to a big car of tike heavy-weight class. It seems that the "Bianchi" has solved the problem of a medium-weight car that will hold • the road under all conditions, and give speed and comfort combined with real economy. The chassis is now on view in Messrs Storey and Co.'s Showroom, and as that firm are justly proud of their latest importation, they invite everybody interested I to inspect tihis greatly-improved chaesis. 6
