A THOROUGHBRED OF MOTORDOM JUST ARRIVED AT CHRISTCHURCII. At this.season of the year the young man'B fancy lightly turns to thoughts of gee-gees, and sporting similes come readily to the pen when ono oomes to describe tho 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 tho motor engineer's art,' or because the celebrated Antwerp firm turns out tho best Silent Knight engines in the world, but rather because the name "Minerva' 'on a car denotes tho limit of attainable perfection in materials, mechanism, finish, and design. Tho three-water cream-coloured 14.25 li.p. Minerva which is at present awaiting a purchaser in tho garage of Adams, Ltd., makes a distinct api>eal both to tho ' aesthetic and engineering faculties of tho experienced motorist. . At a timo when the city is crowded with American cars, built primarily for cheapness, a car such as this latest of tho Mmorvas conies refreshingly to tho eye. In every detail it evidences tho eye of the artist and tho brain of tho master mechanician. Tho section wind-screen, the electric lighting installation, tlu low. luxurious seats, tho beauty of tho upholstery, the fino flowing : ! nes of tho bodv—trim as a yacht .from stem to stern, without corners, gables or projec-tions-Tall theso aro but a titho of the refinements and excellences of this thoroughbred among modern cars. And tho price? Tho prico is fixed on an honest basis.. The London price of the chassis is £310, of the body and extras £S7 Is., and of tho C.A.V. lighting set £40 12s. Bd. To these charges are added tho cost of importation only. Tho car is one to bo proud of, and Adams, Limited, invito . correspondence from anyone who is interested in motors, to whom photos and particulars will ba posted.—Advt.
