WITH economy, reliability and smart looks the watchwords, it is small wonder that Honda cars are very firmly established among the world’s top sellers. A n d now, with the


appointment of Clitheroe’s Greenacre Garage as an offi­ cial Honda dealer, local motorists have a golden opportunity to take a closer look at these impressive vehicles.'


Awarded the franchise only a few weeks ago, the


O j, in Greenacre Street, e full range of Hondas

Garage owner Mr Philip •s / I


Pozzi has not taken this important step without a gi’eat deal of forethought, as he explained this weelc.


Conclusion For the past two years,


Mr Pozzi has been inves­ tigating every major make of car, Bntish and foreign,, before deciding which deal- ei-ship to go for.


And his conclusion is that X U


ROME-BORN Mr Gianfdice Pozzi — known to most people as Philip — first worked for his father’s agricultural' machinery business in Italy, and later trained with Fiat and Alfa Romeo. Coming to this country 22 years ago, he set up in business on his own account in Greenacre Street. The site he took over contained a variety of buildings


in various states of repair, including some shops and an old stable. But ■ gradually Mr Pozzi fashioned the present premises. “We did that by renovating half the existing buildings and demolishing the 'rest,’’ he explained. As the buildings took shape, his staff grew until it reached its present total of 10.


Honda represents the best buy from every point of view. “These cars are cheap to purchase and economical to run,” he said. “They have better finishes and more accessories than comparable cars in other manufacturers’ ranges.”


The groundwork didn’t


end with Mr Pozzi’s decision to plump f o r H onda, h ow e v e r . T h e re then fo llow ed 12 months of negotiation with the firm, d u r in g w h ich Honda r e p r e s e n ta t iv e s made

TO coincide with his Honda venture Mr Pozzi has taken on a new member o f staff. The newcomer is salesman Mr Ron Woods, o f Rishton, who describes Hondas as a “ breed apart.” In the business for 10 years, Mr Woods says: “They are very strong cars. I am keen on rallying and am seriously considering using a Honda for this purpose.


THERE’S no problem when tl comes to spares for Hondas. As an official dealer, Mr Pozzi is obliged to stock a range of £7,000 worth of spare parts, though the chances are that some will never be used, so reliable are the cars.


A special new stores department has been set up at the


garage to deal with Honda parts and several of Mr Pozzi’s 10-slrong staff are to attend courses that will familiarise them with every aspect of the marque.


Parts prices are reasonable — and labour charges are


minimised in many cases by bolt-on panels and easy access to mechanical parts.


inquiries before deciding that we were suitable to take on the dealership,” he’ explained.'


■ ' Versions But now everything is


sorted out and his stock of vehicles is being built- up until he has around 20 cars and vans available at any time.


Prices for the Honda Civic


range from £2,193.72 for the tw o - d o o r m an u a l to £2,844.72 for the larger-


engined four-door auto­ matic.

version or £3,444.60 for the automatic.


And the pickup is a mere


£1,446.98 fo r the ’ basic version .or £1,619.78 for the' panel van. These pnces are on-the-


road and include 12 months t a x and a tw o - v e a r waiTanty. And ALL Hondas sold by Greenacre Garage are first treated with the ECP anti-con-osion process which carries a six-year guarantee.

\ SO MANY EXTRAS]


THE R E are three versions- of the Civic,


best-selling car in the current Honda range. The 1200 cc model is avail­


able as a two-door saloon or in the increasingly popular hatchback style. Or there is the 1500 cc version-with four doors. And the equipment that


each Civic boasts as stan­ dard is enough to bnng joy to the most discerning of motonSts. - The adjustable, fully-


reclining front Seats feature headrests as standard. There’s a grained wood pattern instrument panel, forced ventilation heater and demister, spoked steer­ ing wheel and passengers’ handgrips and armrests.


QUIET. You’ ll also find radial,


tyres, reversing lamp and lockable filler cap. Choose the three or four-door version and added to the list will be a radio and aerial, c ig a re t te lighter, fitted


carpets and heated rear window.


F o r the .technically-


mmded, the Ci-vic features a four-stroke, four-cylinder water-cooled cros s f low engine, assuring quiet motonng and making long, high-speed trips a pleasure. The Civic is designed to i-un on low octane two-star fuel with no loss of efficiency or performance. -


AID


■A th e rm o s t a t i c a l ly controlled electnc cooling


fan allows the engine to reach its optimum working temperature quickly. An


•automatic fuel mixture pre­ warming device ensures that the mixture is supplied to each cylinder at a constant temperature for cleaner, ■more economical power. ■ The engine, which has an


overhead camshaft and hemispherical combustion chambers, is exceptionally flexible so you can idle along in high gear at low speeds and still have quick pickup and brisk acceleration. Front wheel drive, is a


gi-eat aid to dnving stability, especially on poor roads and sn ow and ic e -c o v e r e d surfaces. 'With the weight of the front-mounted engine over the driving wheels, the possibility of tyre-spinning or skids due to braking is reduced.


Positive-feeling rack and


pinion steenng along with the wide track, long wheel­ base and low centre of grav­ ity assm-es’ easy handling and good roadholding in all - conditions. Luxurious strut- type independent four- wheel suspension wth coil springs, irons out the bumps on bad roads and aids cornering.


If you prefer something


slightly bigger, why not take a look at Honda’s top-of-the- range Accord. .


This luxurious motor is a


two-door hatchback and features a 1.6 litre four- cylinder overhead camshaft engine, producing 80 horse­ power. It has refined five- speed transmission, giving performance with economy.

ROCK-BOTTOM prices and versatility make the Honda van series a must for a wide variety of tradesmen — shopkeepers, market gardeners and milkmen for example. Capable of carrying half a ton, they are powered — believe it or not — by 360 cc engines and come in pickup or van form.
