BRITISH, ECONOMICAL, MODERATEPRICED SPLENDiDLY-fINIKHED— THE NEW HUMBER, IMPROVED MODEL. A? most people are now aware, there is at present a difficulty in obtaining shipments of motor-cars from Britain, owing to the bis contracts placed with the automobile firms by the British and Allies' War Offices. We have been exceptionally fortunate in assuring the delivery, duriu? the next two or three months, of a numbev of the latest model 10.3.1 h.p. Humber touring cars. Two of these cars, the advance-guard of further and much larger shipments, have just been delivered at our Christohurcli garage ei s.s. lonic. One of these .has been sold, and the other is still on view. .It is a beautifully finished four-seater oar, the body colour being a rich warm brown, and the fittings plated. A. neater or more refined-looking car has never been imported to this country. Although light—the weight ready for the r'oad is but IScwt.—the car is of standard wheel gauge, and the 6eats are of ample width. The car is remarkably economical in running. J(r. S. E. Steduian, our Duueilin agent, who has sold about 'fifty Humbers, and who has driven tho first of the 10-23 h.p. four-seater Humbers landed hero over 15,000 miles, reports to us that the car has averaged miles to the gallon of petrol, artd ?10n miles to tho gallon of lubricating oil. The cost of running per mile, including petrol, luhricatiug oil and depreciation of tyres, has been estimated at under l{d. 'Although so economical tho car is a grand hill-climber, and capable of a speed of up to 50 miles au hour on the flat. The price of this car, completely equipped anil ready for tho road, with five Sansey detachable wheels, shod with Micholin tyres, C.A.V. olectric lighting set with acetylene headlights, hood, wind-screon, Smith olock, and Jones speedometer, tools, etc.. is .£155. With complete C.A.V. electric lighting set (head, side, and tail lampo, the price is ,P4M, and with complete C'.A.Y. electric lighting set and sclfstarler, the price is Jjilo. We can g'.vo delivery of any number at an early date. Photoßi'aoha and rotaloßiis on apiihgnliun. Adams. Ltd., Asent-, tor Humber Cars, r.'hi-istchurch, Palnwston North, ami Wanganui.
