DOUGLASS TARANAKI “DOUGLAS" AGENT, NEW PLYMOUTH. ‘FIAT.” rpHE greatest Motor Road Race in the World is the French Grand Prix, and it is the greatest ambition of the foremost motor car manufacturers to win it. As evidence of the creative genius of Italian motor car builders, and illustrating the wonderful advance made in recent years in motor car design, this year's event, held last July, is a striking testimony. Seventeen car's, representing the world's best, started on the gruelling test of 500 miles, and it was won by a i 5.9 h:p. 6-cylinder “FIAT” at a speed of 79.3 miles per hour, only two other cars finishing. The car was driven at this terrific speed for 500 miles in 6 hours 17 minutes. The performance was repeated a month later in the Italian Grand Prix on a 373 mile circuit on a speedway at Milan, and the firet. second, third and fourth places were taken by the same kind of 15.Sk h.p. ‘"FIAT” car at an average speed of the 4 cars of 83 miles per hour. Some years ago it would have taken cars of 150 h.p. to put up such a performance, and this years results completely establish the value of the light car of firet-class design, such as the ‘•FIAT.’ We are landing shortly a Sports Model 4-cy Under 12-16 h.p.’ “FIAT,” which is the product of the VIAT’S racing erperience, and we will be pleased to show it to anyone interested. It has a range of 5 to 65 miles per hour on top gear, marvellous acceleration and hill-climbing powers, and will do 45 miles per gallon •of petrol and 2000 miles per' gallon of oil, and brakes, steers and rides perfectly at all speeds, being absolutely easy and simple to control.
