QPEAKING last week at the annual

general meeting of Jaguar Cars. Ltd., the chairman. Sir William Lyons, said that the substantial orders received for the Daimler Fleetline rear-engined double-decker had completely justified the decision to put it into volume production. The continually increasing proportion of tenders for new vehicles being awarded to Daimler was a matter of great satisfaction, he said; the normal frontengined double-deck bus chassis was in considerable demand among municipali ties.

Of Guy, which Jaguar bought last year, Sir William said they were doing everything they could to re-establish this once very successful business on a firm profitearning basis.
