\ THOROUGHBRED OF MOTORDOM JUST ARRIVED AT CIIRLSTCHUIiCH. \t this season of the year the young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of gee-gees, and sporting similes come readily to the pen when one comes to describe the latest, daintiest, and most.luxurious of motor-cars of the Minerva breed to arrive in this city. Tho Minerva is noted, not particularly because it is equipped with a Silent ICnight engine, the apotheosis of the motor engineer's art, or because the celebrated Antwerp firm turns out the best Silent Knight engines in tho world, but rather because the name "Minerva' 'on a car denotes tho limit of attainable perfection in materials, mechanism. finish, and design. The three-seater cream-coloured 14.25 h.p. Minerva which is at present awaiting a purchaser in the garage of Adams, Ltd., makes a distinct appeal bolli to the aesthetic and engineering faculties nf the experienced motorist. At a time when tiie eitv is crowded with American ears, built primarily for cheapness, a car such as this latest of the Mim-rvas com?* refreshinglv to Die eye. In every detail it evidences the eye of the artist and the brain of the master mechanician. The section" wind-screen, the electric lighting installation, tin- low luxurious seats, the beauty of the noholstei-y. the line (lowing Imios of the bodv-trim as a yacht from stem to stern, without corners, gables or projections—all these are but a tithe of the relinemeuts and excellences of -this tlunnu"hbred among modern cars. And the price? The price is fixed on an honest basis. The London price of the chassis is jklO. of the body and extras .CS7 K, and nf the C.A.V. lighting - i: ' w 12s. Bd. To these charges are added the cost of importation only. The car is one to bo proud of. and Adams, Limited, invite orr«pondencc from anyone who is interested in motor*, to whom photos and uarticulars will bo posted.—Advt. J
