One of the Salmson light cars which competed successfully at Brooklands in the 1920s.
Salmson cars were very successful at Brooklands after World War One. Most notably, Captain Hazlehurst won the 1926 200 Miles Race outright, and M Goutte also set a long-standing class record of 114.49mph on only his second lap of the Brooklands track.
Salmson ‘Grand Sport’ models were marketed in England as ‘Grand Prix’ cars and the major local dealer at the time was Brooklands racing driver Gordon Watney. They had an advanced technical specifications, including a twin-overhead-camshaft engine.
This particular car took part in various speed events at Brooklands throughout the 1920s.

Put a grease pit in your garage museum. No power needed, can be covered when not in use and is not a big expense.
Hard to believe they would put a taperly meter on to check the brakes i used them back at Blaby Garage Leicester in the early 1960 Ed 40 s of Vegas
I would hold one front wheel steady while checking the play on the other, maybe?!
My grandfather broke his wrist trying to start one of those Napiers, not realising about the counter clockwise running!
I was baffled by the gorilla stroking his hair and smelling his hand ??? Did make me laugh 🤣 Great car though😁👍
