Do you realise that wear goes on, attacking your engine even though your car is standing still in the garage? YOU can sit back and take a rest, after a long drive--but if your oil goes off duty there, will soon be trouble!

For as the engine cools, moisture, acids, and other harmful products of combustion formed while the engine is running, condense on the metal surfaces. Only a film of oil protects these surfaces from attack by acids and the rusting and corrosion they would inevitably. cause. Cold corrosion is, in fact, one of the commonest and most damaging of all kinds of engine wear.

SHELL X-100 Motor Oil fights this form of weat, because it does not drain away from the cylinder walls,

such that it clings to the working surfaces, safeguarding them against corrosion, ensuring that whether you take your car out tomorrow or after a lapse of weeks,

the cagins will be in as good condition as when you switched it off today!

SHELL X-100 will mix with any mineral oil which is already in the sump, but to get the best and quickest results, DRAIN, FLUSH, AND SCHELL?

The Nuffield Organisa- tion today announces the introduction of now MG to be known as the MG Midget, Sorios TD, a two scator sports car incor- porating many suggos- tions requested from all over the world for the modernising of its prode- cossor, the famous TC typo which has proved so popular in all markets.

Less than 12 months ago, the MG designers held a round Labic conference 10 wift the mass of sugestions which they had received. Those that were practical were immediately de- signed and manufactured in their
