CARS OF LUXURY
I
American Influence Puts
Midget Models in Back
groundHigh Tax Cost
Is Overcome by Comfort
LONDON (UP) British automo
bile manufacturers, faced with a
flood of six and eight-cylinder "lux
ury" cars from the United State
have scuttled the bugaboo of high
motoring taxes and are producing
an array of larger and finer models.
Henry Ford can be credited to a
large extent for this revolutionary
trend In the British Industry.
Years ago the British government
identified the owner of a motor car
as a man of superfluous wealth well
able to pay a tax on hla luxurious
living. A horsepower tax was placed
on automobiles and this policy has
been expanded until, .according to
one manufacturer's statement, the
British motorist Is the most heavily
taxed In the world.
Smull Cars Appear.
Auto makers, seeking volume sales,
responded by concentrating on small
but ordinarily efficient cars. The
streets were well filled with 11111
putian four-cylinder cars of about
seven horsepower.
These small cars also gave the
motorist relier from the high cost
of gasoline In England about twice
the price In the United States be
cause of heavy taxation.
The British tax on a tiny seven
horsepower car ts about 26 a year,
not Including license and compul
sory second and third party liability
Insurance.
In the United States, 'meanwhile,
engineers developed low-priced six
cylinder models of about 20 horse
power for around 8500 and four
cylinder cars became a rarity on
the highways.
Then Ford stepped Into the Brit
ish picture.
Two years ago he Introduced into
Great Britain his eight-cylinder mod
el, listed at about 81250 and capable
of 80 miles an hour, to the amaze
ment of British motorists. Its body
was spacious and beautifully out
fitted. Tuxes Red need Some.
Many English people, Ignoring Its
high tax and comparatively heavy
gasnline consumption, purchased this
model, thereby creating a new vogue
which British manufacturers were
challenged to meet. The government
eventually made a reduction In auto
mobile taxes and the United States
responded with several models of 20
and 25 horsepower, six-cylinder cars
selling in England for slightly more
than $1500.
The prices were higher than for
the same cars In the United States
because of tariff, freight, insurance
and middlemen's expense.
American-British competition be
gan on a real scale with Lord Nuf
field launching four new types of
Morris six-cylinder cars. Ford re
sponded with a smaller model of 22
horsepower, carrying a British tas
of $82.50.
The whole industry began to take
notice of this new competition war
and began to Join It, one by one.
realizing that tax and fuel con
sumption were not the stumbling
blocks they once had been.
American Influence Prevails.
The recent International motor
show at Olympla revealed the rapid
Americanization of Britain's auto
mobiles. Insofar as size speed and
horsepower are concerned.
"If we are compelled by sheer
honesty to admit that the original
Inspiration for these new models Is
largely transatlantic we can say that
the copyist unquestionably has im
proved on the prototype," one maker
said.
The larper English cars mean
higher operating costs, but salesmen
have found that the additional cost
of a 20 or 25 horsepower car Is not
so great as to obscure Its merits
of speed, comfort and silence with
the buyer.
Buyers have been made to realise
that the large engines, rarely worked
to capacity, have an endurance not
to be found in the tiny runabouts
and may be expected to last, with
benefit of reasonably good care, for
10 years or more.
Ono of the most frequently seen
examples of the new British "lux
ury" cars is a 21-horsepower model.
carrying a tax of about 7f. accom
mcdatlng five passengers and done
In excellent leather upholstery. The
car has a speed of B0 miles an hour.
