FIRST EDITION HARDBACK BOOK IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. DUSTJACKET COMPLETE, UNMARKED AND UNCREASED. ALL INTERNALS CLEAN, TIGHT AND BRIGHT.  THE BOOK IS NOT CLIPPED AND THERE ARE NO  INSCRIPTIONS. THIS IS NOT AN  EX-LIBRARY BOOK.

This Register is an illustrated listing of most of the surviving Salmson cars made between 1921 and 1929. As a reference book it contains full descriptions with manufacturer’s catalogue descriptions for each of the 19 models made, together with comprehensive listings of chassis and engine numbers. There are also sections covering the competition record with all British and European drivers noted, and on a more practical level, hints on how to keep your Salmson engine running well today.

... All the competitions in which the Salmsons competed throughout Europe between 1920 and the end of the '30s, including the names of the drivers, are referenced here.

The 19 models produced in the 1920s, with chassis and engine numbers and practical advice on how to maintain these beautiful mechanics, are meticulously described and abundantly illustrated with reproductions from the catalogues of the time.

But above all, this book offers us as complete a register as possible of the cars that have survived to the present day, with their history.

Needless to say, this bible of any  salmsonite and is almost impossible to find today, all copies having been acquired before its publication in 2007.
