Without qualifying this, I will add th at it will also set new standards in other fields —those of Europeanisation, importance for the future and above a ll in the fun and in ter e st it will offer as a many-sided show of automobilia. Now for my reasons. It will attract a greater


attendance than for many years because of the way the

ANYONE WHO THINKS ALL MODERN CARS ARE TINNY, HAS YET TO RUN INTO


TE MZA 1800 H AD


The Mazda 1800 must be one of the most solidly built cars on the road today (even the floor is made from galvanised . steel). But though it’s heavy on the road it’s surprisingly light on petrol. You’ll get about 28 m.p.g. on 2 star fuel which makes it a very economical motor car. Not that you’d guess at any economies from the interior. You’ll find more extras on the Mazda 1800 than on the set of Ben Hur— everything from reclining seats to an electric clock. And when you get on the road there’s a top speed of almost 100 m.p.h. and one of quietest rides you’ll ever experience. Prices start at £1,397—a little extra for the automatic and estate versions. Come in for a test drive. You don’t run into a bargain like this every day.
