ENGLISH MAKE

Cars and Trucks For New Zealand Is a British car or truck suitable for New Zealand conditions? The driver of one is the best judge. DEFERENCE has already been made 1X m "N.Z. Truth" to the vast number of English car and truck manufacturers who are building with Colonial conditions and demands ever m view. Motor manufacturers are anxious that their goods should sell on merit and for this reason English motorvehicles have been subjected to the most searching tests — which they have withstood. The average motorißt wantH a utility type of car, combining comfort, speed and economy. Running costs are an important factor m the purchase of any motor vehicle and In this respect the English car commands attention. The English job Is not built for spectacular performance, although, Incidentally, it has been responsible for a few. Both cars and trucks are small, but very compact, while their powers of endurance have 6tood the test. England's manufacturers have been a long time In "getting back" on the Colonial, markets, but they appear to be well established at last. Statistics are more than likely •to point to a big increase m the demand for English cars and trucks during 1928.
