NEW USE FOR SIX-WHEELERS
When the six-wheeled vehicle first made its appearance much was predicted for it, but few, it is to be conjectured, imagined that in its lighter form it would be applied to the purpose of big game hunting. Rootes, Ltd., the biggest firm of car distributors and exporters in Great Britain, have recently supplied several six-wheeled Morris cars to the Nawab Hamidullah Khan of Bhopal. They are essentially hunting cars. fully equipped with spotlights, for night work with tigers readily accessible gun and cartridge cases, and all the necessary impedimenta for luncheon in places far removed from civilisation.
Supercharging has been adopted as standard on several models by the Lea Francis concern and the one and ahalf litre four-cylinder engine of 69 m.m. bore and 100 m.m. stroke is guaranteed to attain 80 miles an hour in quite a short distance.
