"500,000 break ins a year, on a upward trend has necessitated the deve. lopme niof i i sophisticated anti theft system which overcomes the disadvantages of previously available alarms," say Referbest of Sheffield Terrace, W.S.

The Black Box is simple to set. Concealed sensors whose positions are known only to the owner or driver alert the system magnetically and a false or trap sensor discourages scarthing for their position by an unauthorised person. With the "Black Box" fined there is no external evidence that the vehicle Is protected. The keyholes and mechanical locks of other devices warn the thief, who will know how to neutralise them. Synchronised flashing headlights short blasts of the horn.

and an immobilised engine will effectively deter any thief. The Black Box is available from Referbest The Black Box is easily installed in less than two hours, say the firm. No drilling of the body shell is required, and it is easily transferable to a new car. distributors Codap Chiswick Roundabout, London 4 SQH, at £79.80 4- VAT.

Under normal New look for police cars Major improvements in the Metropolitan Police transport fleet are under was. They come as a result of the Government's recent decision. which have made extra funds available to the Police. This means the Force can improve the ciency of their vehicles. Greater use will be made of patrol cars, and these will cover more mileage than has been possible during the past two years of economic restraint.

The obvious presence of Police on the streets will be increased, and so help the Force carry out one of Its primary objects policing.

Traffic driving it will return 30 to 35 m.p.g., but improves to close on 40 m.p.g. when cruised in the region of 55 m.p.h.

these are the kind of figures most family motorists are hankering after these days. The servo disc- drum brakes are as used on the bigger models, and so, with the lighter kerb weight of the 1300, are very adequate indeed for this version, needing only modest pedal pressures to produce smooth, short distance stopping. Although the 1300 Cavalier steering needs four turns from lock to lock and is agreeably light for easy parking, there is still plenty of feel when motoring rapidly in a straight line, helped by a fairly strong castor action. Handling, aided by front and rear anti-roll bars, is outstanding for a 1300 touring saloon, but it is also matched by splendid roadholding and a most comfortable ride. The roomy, 1300 Cavalier must be rated as one of the more delightful, fast touring saloons in its class and pleasantly economical too.
