Possibly one of the oldest motor cars in active service in New Zealand —a veteran of 28 years—came into collision in Pahiatua with another machine that had seen 22 years’ service. The older of the pair was the first car imported into the Bush district, and at the time of the accident was being driven by the man who imported it. who is now 86 years of age. The car has travelled 158,000 miles. Both machines, considering their age. were reported to be in good mechanical condition. Neither of the drivers was injured. A passenger in one car received a blow on the head, but after receiving attention he was able to go home. Neither car was seriously damaged.
