Delivery time

Sir,
In your June issue letter column you print Mr. Davidson’s favourite .advertisement by VW. One smiles and acknowledges the truth in the statement.

My most frustrating advertisement was the one published in the national Sunday papers by Vauxhall Moters on March 28th last. This promised 24-hour delivery of their 2000 SL model.

I ordered one from my Vauxhall dealer on April 5th which was confirmed by the distributor and correctly invoiced to me on April 7th. In spite of daily telephone calls the car was held back until a price increase of £95 was announced on May 1st.

So much for the honesty of our motor trade.

E. Hale.
