HARTNETTS AT £650 ? Price of the Hartnett car would be about £650, the managing director of Universal Motors (Mr. N. Goldberg)

said today. A firm price had not yet been fixed. The first Hartnetts would be delivered in SA early next month. Only a few cars would be available for delivery in May and June, but within a few months the SA quota would be between 40 and 50 a month. Factory production was eight a week, but this

figure would increase progressively, he said. Hartnetts would be assembled in Adelaide later this year. Premises had already been obtained for the work. It had also been decided greatly to increase the Australian content. Orders in SA totalled about 300 and the waiting period was about six months.
