No practical motorist can, says the Autocar (England) regard the raodorn habit of fitting coachwork costing £2OO or more to light car chassis without considerable disgust. It is bad business, for one thing. Coachwork and accessories should • preserve a certain ratio in value to the chassis which they adorn or disfigure, for the simple reason that they depreciate appallingly. To take an extreme example, the man who should be fool enough to put a £2OO body "on n Ford would not get anything like £l5O for the body when he sold the car; indeed, unless he were lucky enough to meet another fool, he probably would not get £l5O for the entire outfit, Where light cars are concerned, the practice is also technically a blunder. If the body is heavy (and the expensive types usually are far heavier than the standard bodies, as extravagance usually runs to the conpe or to the saloon), it will smother the willing little engine; on the other hand, if it is light it will very soon rattle, because the chassis ia so flexible. The second-hand light ear market ' recently furnished examples to whi . her of the above criticisms apply; example, very cheap light car chassis have been equipped with extravagant sports bodies in beaten aluminium,, costing'more than the value of the chassis. To such examples ti more topical criticism applies; such expenditure is unpardonable in war time. A man who recently stild Uis 30 h.p. car. bought a 10 h.p. chassis to which he promptly attached a £270 body. There should undoubtedly be a ratio between body and chassis expenditure, somewhere about 20 per cent, of the chassis value.
