A New Rolls

Selected by Brian Cathcart from the New Statesman archive, 24 December 1938

The Tiny Sports Car

  • 15 May 2006

Taken from the New Statesman archive, 3 August 1929. Davidson contributed a weekly motoring column to the New Statesman for a dozen years between the wars, and this example is typically brisk and manly. He liked speed and power, thought foreigners and women were often just as skilful behind the wheel as Englishmen, viewed driving tests as a waste of time, and believed every motorist should have a spacious garage. It seems that, since 1929, cars have changed rather more than motoring journalists. - Brian Cathcart
