Vauxhall Salos Record
In spite of rather adverse condi- tions; the Hongkong Agents for the Vauxhall cars report good business for the first part of 1934, no less than twenty-three models having been sold to local residents for delivery in England, this being apart from the number of cars solį for local use. The turnover is be loved to constitute a record in respect of orders for overseas de- liveries.
The facilities offered by the Vauxhall manufacturers in con Junction with the Hongkong Hotel Garage, solve the Home Leave Motoring problem most satisfac- torily. Briefly, the arrangement is this: After the particular model has been chosen in Hongkong, the makers receive instructions as lo when it is to be handed over in London. The owner has the use of it whilst at Home, and at the expiration of his leave, merely de- the livers the vehicle back to hinkers who then box and ship it to the Hongkong ngonta who take delivery at this end, and hold the car in readiness for the owner when he returns. The conditions are most favourable, and the fact that so many Hongkong motorista have accepted the offer, proves its popularity and convenience.
