" Britain is the largest exporter of Automobiles in the world, with a
total of 506,000 passenger and commercial vehicles shipped to many
parts of the world during the year 1951. More than half of Great
Britains (sic) output were the passenger cars that are more and more
commonly seen in the States. These small cars have become very
popular recently, partly because of the low price and partly for the
economy involved in running and maintaining them. Such names as
Rover, Hillman, Austin, and MG are almost as well known today as Ford
and Chevrolet. Among the larger more expensive cars shipped from
Britain, are the Jaguar, Allard, Rolls Royce, and Daimler. Britain
expects the demand in 1952 to break the record sales of 1951!
