I think one of the first things you need to do is align the plaques with the photos of the cars described. But very interesting collection. Thanks for posting.
It's cool that there is a Salmson in the collection. Very rare indeed. Many years ago a fellow vintage racer had a Salmson grand prix car about halfway through it's restoration. He decided to sell it, and I wanted it. But he also had an Amilcar (that I also wanted) which he was willing to sell, but only with the Salmson. I couldn't afford both, and while we were negotiating, another vintage racer snapped up both. That guy has been racing the Amilcar since, but still hasn't finished the Salmson, some 30 years later.
