Britain's First Motoring Monarch As A Driver

LONDON.

SOME weeks ago you might have found in a certain Coventry motor-car manufacturer's delivery ledger the following entry:

"Delivered to His Majesty King George VI at Buckingham. Palace one Lanchester standard saloon."

Just below you might have found another similar entry: Delivered to John Smith, at Newcastle-on-Tyne, one Lanches-

ter standard saloon."

Just a couple of simple ledger entries about two perfectly standard British cars, yet they give an exact picture of the present popularity of motoring among all classes of the community in Great Britain.

The King's new car is the 40th to be delivered to Britain's reigning monarchs since King Edward VII took the first, ad h.. model, in 1899. Nor is the King's interest in moloring: confined to relaxing in the luxurious upholstery of the back seat in a stately Royal car. He is a very keen driver and the first real

motoring monarch on the British throne.
