\ thoroughbred of MOTORDOM JUST ARRIVED AT CIIRISTCHURCH. At this season of the year the young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of gee-gees, and sporting similes come read-, lly to the pen when one comes to describa the latest, daintiest, and most luxurious of motor-cars of the Minerva breed to arrive in this city. The Minerva is noted, not particularly becauso it is equipped with a Silent Knight engine, the apotheosis of the motor engineer's art, or because the celebrated Antwerp firm turns out the best Silent Knight engines in the world,' but rather because the name "Minerva' 'oil a,car denotes tho limit of attainable perfection in materials, mcchanism, finish, and design. The three-seater cream-coloured 14.25 h.p. Minerva which is at present awaiting a purchaser in the garago of Adams, Ltd., makes a distinct appeal both to 'the aesthetic and engineering faculties of the experienced motorist. At a time when the city is crowded with American cans, built-primarily for cheapness, a oar such -is this latest of the Minorvas comes refreshingly to the eyo. In every detail it evidences tho eye of tlio artist and the brain of the master mechanician. Tho section wind-screen, tho electric lighting installation, tha loiv. luxurious seats, the beauty of the upholstery, the fino flowing I'lies of the body—trim as a yacht from stem to stern, without corners, gables or projections—all tlieso are but a tithe of the refinements and excellences of this thoroughbred amon(i modern cars. And tho price? The pi'ico is fixed 011 an honest basis. The 1.-ondon price of the chassis is .£3-10, of tho body and extras .£8" Is., and of tho C.A.V. lighting set .£-10 12s. 8(1. To these charges are added the cost of importation only. The car is one to bo proud of, and Adams, Limited, invite correspondence from anyone who is interested in motors, to whom photos and particulars will be posted.—Advt.
