Mrs. Sandford, a New Zealand lady, recently completed a 11,000 mile journey round Australia. The above photograph of the car was taken in Auckland last week. The car was driven 10,000 miles in New Zealand before being shipped to Australia, but no repairs had been necessary. The engine was tuned at Adelaide and the only mishap on the entire journey was one broken spring leaf. The Dunlop tyres fitted to the car are still in service and good for another 2,000 miles. Supplies of benzine and oil for the trip were arranged by the Vacuum Oil Co. It is understood that Mrs. Sandford proposes a North Cape to Bluff trip shortly, before any work is done to the car.
