Thus, motorists landing at Dover or Folkestone may proceed to Canterbury or Maidstone ; those landing at Newhaven may proceed to Lewes ; and those landing at Southampton may proceed to the Southampton registration offices.

The type of car selected is the well-known six-cylinder model. For Australia a fleet of twelve will be utilized and for New Zealand a fleet of seven.
BRITISH MOTOR-CAR EXPORTS.

The motor industry is the one bright spot, and it is good to know that during the eleven months ending November 30th motor-car exports exceeded imports by over £2,500,000. The value of the car exports was £8,180,805 and the imports were £5,639,375. In last November the value of British motor vehicles exported was for the first time over £1,000,000, which is £262,117 greater than the figure for October and /194,202 greater than for November, 1925.
