THE COMING OF THE LIGHT CAR.

fliere are certain manifest advantages attaching to the new light-weight motor-cars turned out by such firms as Clement Bayard in Franco and Humbers, Ltd., in England. Owing to their increasing popularity and their comparative simplicity of construction such cars are produced in very largo quantities, and the prico is relatively very low. Then in rogard to running expenses, they do an enormous amount of hard work on very littlo petrol. They nro light on tyros, and light on bearings, and the whole car is therefore more durable and reliable. We are fortunate in possessing the agency for tho two firms which are leading the world in catering for the. demand for light cars of tho highest possible quality. Wo stock tho new Clement-Bayard 4-cylindor 8-12 h.p. torpedo-bodied car, ono of tho lightest, daintiest and simplest automobilos ever produced. It is the ideal lady's, sportsman's, or commercial man's car. Tho French price is ,£lB6, to which we add ouly importing charges. For those desiring a light car, with a body built to order, we stock tho new Clement-Bayard 4-cylinder 10-15 h.p. chassis, which makes a new era in light-car construction. We carry all body parts in stock. Tho French prico is ,£2lO, without tyres, to which wo add only cost of importation. Then wo have that famous British recordbreaker, the 1912-13 .{-cylinder 11-15 h.p. torncdo-bodied Humber, which complete with wire wheels, hood, wind-shield and lamps, sells in England at .£285 for 1scator body and .£270 for 2-scatcr body. Hero again we add only the importing charges, a fair and explicit system which commends itself to nil motorists. For those requiring a light-weight delivery van, we stock the 20 h.p. SludebakcrFlnmlers, which sells complete in New Zealand for JC29S.-ADAMS, LIMITED, Garage, Tuam Street, Ohristchurch.
