The A.C. is one of the leading cars of its type, namely the 2-litre ” light six ” category, of which it was actually the originator. They appeal to many motorists, who enjoy motoring as a hobby, by virtue of their good quality and firstclass workmanship. The handling of such cars will always be different from that of mass-produced vehicles.

The 16/66 h.p. sports model is a genuine 80 m.p.h. car, with good acceleration and road holding.

Three sports models have been concentrated upon by the Alvis concern for the coming season, namely the “Speed Twenty,” the ” Silver Eagle” and the ” Firebird.” The first named has been improved by means of an entirely new chassis frame. The steering and front suspension have also been slightly modified. The new “Silver Eagle” is a fast, stoutly made car which will find many adherents, and the old ” Firefly ” has now grown up into the new ” Firebird.” The engine size is 1,842 c.c. instead of the previous 1,496 c.c., and the performance is characteristic of an efficient 4-cylinder design.

There is very little change to be noticed in the Armstrong Siddeley programme.

For the rest, these cars are typical examples of high-class British workmanship, all possessing wearing qualities out of the ordinary, and providing comfortable, fast touring for many years.

The Aston-Martin is one of those cars, so rare nowadays, which the designers and manufacturers regard in the light of an ideal. Basically unaltered for many years, it is nevertheless added to and improved from the data obtained by racing and general competition work, and it now represents the high-water mark of 1i-litre sports car production. For 1935 one model only will be available, the Mark II, carrying three different

body styles, a 2-4 seater, a full 4-seater, and a sports salbon. There are many minor alterations in the Mark II chassis. The crankshaft is now fully counterbalanced, in conjunction with the pistons and con. rods ; wider timing wheels are used, and a new type of valve rocker, a new dynamo-drive coupling, and a still more efficient cylinder head ; the petrol tank is now slung in metal straps ; the engine mounting has been improved ; the frame has been strengthened ; the front shock absorbers are now mounted transversely ; the steering layout has been modified ;

the propellor shaft universals now have needle roller bearings ; and finally larger tyres on smaller wheels are fitted.

The point which will particularly commend Austin sports models to discerning motorists is their ability to withstand hard usage with a minimum of wear. A considerable amount of racing experience has been at the disposal of the factory, and this is bound to find its place in the sports productions. The coachwork of all models is comfortable and well equipped.

BENTLEY.

British. Bentley Motors (1931), Ltd.,

The 3i-litre Bentley is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable cars in all motoring history, combining to a degree hitherto considered impossible speed, silence, medium dimensions and consequent ease of control. There is nothing startling nor revolutionary in its design, and yet it can compete equally with noisy supercharged sports models on the score of speed, as with luxurious town-carriages -in regard to silent comfort. Truly a superlative car.

Two new models appear in the Lagonda range for 1935. These are the 44-litre Rapide and the 3i-litre. The first is an outcome of the cars entered for the recent T.T., when they proved themselves to be as fast as any car in the race. The open sports model sells at 21,000 complete. The 3i-litre model is not unlike the Rapide in general layout, and supplements the successful 3-litre car which has many admirers. The Standard 4i-1itre, the ” 16/80 ” and the Rapier continue unchanged except for a few detailed improvements resulting from the experience gained during the past year.

The M.G. programme has been in production for some time, and consists of Midgets, Magnas, and Magnettes. The normal models are high-speed sports cars, suitable for long-distance touring and ordinary competition work. For racing pure and simple, the Q Midget and the K3 Magnette are provided, both being genuine racing cars -with splendid records in the important races of this season. No firm has done more to foster motor sport than the M.G. Car Co., and their own productions are a direct result of constant participation in racing and reliability events. Their quality can be gauged by their successes, and the great popularity of M.G. cars throughout the country is indeed well merited.

There is no change in the Railton Terra’ plane for 1935. It remains a machine of outstanding character, possessed of a performance which places it in the front rank of sports cars. In acceleration, speed, and general behaviour it is frankly sporting, and yet it also has the silence and ease of control of the refined town car.

During the last year it has attained a firm popularity, and that it would be difficult to improve upon can well be vouched for by any owner. The range of body styles is particularly attractive.

The ” Twelve ” is available as an attractive open fourseater or as a sports saloon, while the Streamline Saloon on the Speed Fourteen chassis is in accordance with the latest

coachbuilding ideals. Indeed Rover coachwork is outstandingly good, as witness the awards gained by the marque in the R.A.C. Rally.

Ever since a team of these cars put up an admirable performance in the J.C.C. ” Double Twelve” race a few years ago, the Studebaker has merited the respect of all lovers of fast motoring. The present range of 6 and 8 cylinder cars contains nothing revolutionary in design, but all the models are fast and well-made vehicles, effortless to drive, and offering long trouble-free service.

The two new features of the Talbot programme for 1935 are the ” Trafficclutch,” which makes gear-changing automatic and traffic driving still easier, and the 3i-litre ” 110,” a new model. Briefly, the function of the new traffic-clutch, or automatic coupling, as distinct from various centrifugal clutches and fluid transmissions, is that while the clutch pedal never need be used in traffic the engine is nevertheless always positively and solidly driven by the vehicle.

The new ” 110″ Airline Saloon is a magnificent car, capable of close on 100′ m.p.h. The touring body is similar to that well known on the ” 105.”

such arduous competitions as the Monte Carlo Rally and the Alpine Trial, one can only have the greatest admiration for the enterprise of those concerned-and respect for their products on emerging successfully from the Ordeal. Such is the CaS3 with the Triumph Company, and under the care of Mr. ‘Donald Healey the cars proved their worth to the hilt. The Sports editions of the ” Glorias ” are known as Vitesse models, and are all specially assembled.

The new ” Dolomite,” on which work has been carried on for the past year, will be one of the sensations of the Motor Show.

The Wolseley Company has taken advantage of the new 15s. per h.p. tax to increase the size of the engine in the Hornet Special to 1,604 c.c., with a revised rating of £10 per annum. The wisdom of this policy will be endorsed by all who appreciate the enjoyment of a good power reserve without the accompaniment of excessive “revs,” and the new Hornet Special should prove to be a comfortable and rapid vehicle. Chassis only are available, as in the past, but a wide range of bodies is marketed by many wellknown coachbuilders.
