Willys-Knight mais.es Record Run Christtfiiirch to West Coast & back same day 320 miles . . . . running time Christchurch to Greymouth, 5 hours; Greymouth to Christchurch return, 5 hours 13 minutes .... Total 10 hours 13 minutes Run under the auspices of the Canterbury Automobile Association, primarily for the purpose of proving that the West Coast is not so very far from the East Coast, and that the absence of a bridge over the Waimakariri at Bealey is the only obstacle to quick, direct road travel, the record-breaking run also again emphasised the road - worthiness and pronounced mechanical excellence which, as every Willys-Knight owner knows, is the strong feature of WillysKnight cars Other Willys-Kniglit & "■Mil ill! -<sr •0 The President oS the Canterbury Automobile Association, Mr W. R. Carey, welcoming the Driver on Arrival in Christchurch Mr W. R. Carey, the G.A.A. President, said that it showed that one could breakfast in Christchurch, lunch in Greymouth and dine in Christchurch. The feat was an excellent one, and the Association congratulated Mr Christie and gave him its heartiest thanks for undertaking it. The trip spoke volumes for the driver and the car. Mr Christie said that.all the credit was due to the car. If the river were bridged the trip could be done every day.

LABOUR DAY, 1930, the same Willys-Knight secured first place Open Glass Around the Bays G.A.A. Trial. 1923 G.A.A. ROUND THE BAYS TRIAL, WillysKnight secured maximum marks 1,000 and Non-Stop. NOTE. —The only G.A.A. Open Trial held between 1923 and 1930 was the Bealey Trial on June 3rd, 1929, when Willys-Overland cars were again successful, Whippet securing first, second, third and fourth places. On completion of the trip, the car was running as smoothly and as well as at the commencement of the arduous journey. No oil was used; no water added on either trip, and other than two punctures, which were beyond anybody's control, there was no trouble whatsoever, no hesitation in mechanical performance of any nature. The sustained pulling power of the Willys-Knight Sleeve Valve Engine was particularly noticeable when negotiating the steep climb over the Otira. Notwithstanding the broken surface of the roads over the Otira, on no occasion was it necessary to change below second gear. Another point of notice was the housing of the motor, which enabled something like upwards of 20 fords on each Journey to be negotiated without water interfering with either the electrical equipment or the carburettor. RIDING COMFORT: It was particularly noticeable that notwithstanding the 320 miles covered In the day over road surfaces that, on many stretches, left a lot to be desired, the riding comfort of die WillysKnight reduced physical fatigue of the passengers to a minimum. Notwithstanding the creditable speed of the high average of 33 miles per hour attained, all town and borough speed regulations were scrupulously observed. (Signed) L. D. PICKLES C.A.A.
