THE LATEST OF THE NEW LIGHT CAES. ! A reporter who visited Messrs. Adams, i Ltd.'s garage, Christcliurch, to obtain information regarding the new types of light, moderate-priced cars, which the firm is introducing to the New Zealand market, found in the process of unpacking a very fino specimen of the latest development ill light cars. This ivius a 10-15 li.p. Clement-Bayard car, built with the new 1912-13 pattern light chassis, with its neat, simple, reliable "fool-proof" engine, and fitted with n beautiful threesenter torpedo body, made in London. The reason for fitting an English body to a French chassis, it was explained, lay ■in the fact that while the Frenchmen arc 'excellent engineers, tlieir body work Is not up to the British standard. In introducing light cars Adams Ltd., are anxious that nothing but the finest possible representatives of the new type shall leave their garage. The Clement-Bayard is finished in light grey, lined with a darker grey, and the general effect is both rich and quiet. Tim engine is simple enough to be managed by a lady after a single morning's tuition, and it is guaranteed to give 100,090 miles of service •without needing a mechanical repair. The reliability of Clement-Bayard engines has, oi' course, been very strikingly demonstrated by the Clemeiit-llayard taxi-cabs that have' given such wonderfully consistent service in Christchnrch. The price of. the new Clement-Bayard chassis in Paris, and the price of (ho London-built body in London, complete, with hood and wind-shield, is OII '.V 10s„ to which figure Adams Ltd. odd only the actual cost of importation, a system of selling which certainly commends itself as straightforward and satisfactory.
