The PESSIMIST 
and 
OPTIMISM 
The pessimist who has been heard recently expressing 
his serious belief that after-war pleasure motoring is 
no longer to be permitted was criticised very severely in 
the "Autocar" of March 2nd. Such pessimism is 
unwarranted. 
Although British motoring concerns, including 
the Austin Motor Co., Ltd., were obliged by 
National necessity to lay aside the production of 
pleasure cars for more important war work, it 
would be absurd to imagine that we have seen 
the last of motoring for pleasure ; this will surely 
revive with the return of peaceful conditions. 
With this in view the Company has laid its plans, and by con- 
centration upon one model, the 20 h.p. post-war Austin, it 
hopes to do its full share in adding to the popularity of motoring.
