“BABY” CARS
Britain Shows Lead at Olympia FOREIGN LESSONS (United P.A. — Bj Telegraph Copyright) (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. noon. LONDO/, Thursday. The most outstanding feature of the Olympic Motor Show is Britain’s long lead from European and American rivals in “baby” cars, ranging from 7-h.p. to 9-h.p.. The next arresting feature is the advent of six-cylinder British cars, for which prices range from £275 to £550. It is interesting to note that the British manufacturers are not too proud to learn from foreigners minor details in design, notably streamline appearances, petrol tanks in the rear, and general solidity. Fifty per cent of the British exhibits are six-cylinder cars ranging from 12-h.p. to 20-h.p., the features of which include two-colour schemes, wire wheels, and sunshine roofs, which slide back half the distance. The general impression of the show is that Britain is getting down to a basis of sixes and “baby” cars.
