Lady Docker, the fabulous Lady Docker, has a new car. It's quite a simple little affair compared with her last Daimler, with its real gold radiator and fittings which cause a sensation wherever she goes. Just a runabout for her personal use, this new car, Lady Docker assures. The Docker Silver flash Daimler quite stole the preview. Combined with the eloquence of Lady Docker - she quite outbid any of the salesmen on any stand - in extolling the virtues of her runabout, it drew the crowds like steel to a magnet.

It's The New Look Taxi -- This "New Look" London taxi may be plying for hire early in the New Year. It represents a complete break from the old fashioned "straight up and down" design which has been the hallmark of London taxis for the past forty years. Gone is the old-fashioned radiator the open luggage carrier, and the folding seats. Instead there is a streamlined bonnet, a giant luggage compartment in the rear and luxury bench-type seats. The driver will have more comfort, too. The gear lever is on the steering column: there is a heater, a de-mister - and no draughts, because now the driver will be properly closed in on both sides.
