Gordon Wilkins covers the motoring story of the week.

In Coventry this week Sir William Lyons announces a new Jaguar which may well be the last of its kind. For more than thirty years the Jaguar has been the typical British sports saloon with five outright wins at Le Mans and a leather-and-walnut finish looking more expensive than it is.
But the new model has lost its famous cat mascot from the bonnet, and now that Jaguar is in the giant British Leyland Group will the pressures of mass marketing allow the car to keep its identity or will the Jaguar soon become just another executive saloon?

A drunken driver is responsible for the death of his brother-in-law and business partner and for the death of the driver of the second car involved in the accident. But when Hardy comes into the investigation a number of factors emerge which point away from its being the driver's responsibility. Who is guilty of the deaths? Hardy's concern for the facts leads to an exciting conclusion.
