547 Salmson 2300 Sports Coupe (1956) JVS 826 by Robert Knight Via Flickr: Salmson 2300 Sports Coupe (1953-57) Engine 2328cc twin cam S4 Production 227 Coachwork by Henri Chapron Chassis number 85213 Engine number 154.11-13 Registration Number JVS 826 SALMSON SET www.flickr.com/photos/45676495@N05/sets/72157624611188496... In the aftermath of WW2, there was little demand in France for high-performance luxury cars of the type Salmson had been producing in the late 1930s, the result of punitive rates of taxation. Nevertheless, for the 1953 season their talented technical staff produced an updated version of the 2.2-litre Randonnée: the 2300 Sport. Styled by Eugène Martin, the 2300 Sport was a pretty 2+2 coupé, with bodies by Esclassan and Henri Chapron, the latter being responsible for the bulk of production. The Randonnée's four-speed Cotal gearbox was retained, while other noteworthy features included torque tube transmission and rack-and-pinion steering. All Salmson cars were built in right-hand drive configuration. With 105bhp on tap from its 2.3-litre twin-cam four, the 2300 Sport was a strong performer by the standards of the day, boasting a top speed of 112mph. Examples competed at Le Mans in 1955, 1956 and 1957 (in 1956 in standard trim complete with all luxuries including a radio!) and the 1956 Mille Miglia. While little was achieved on the track, the 2300 Sport proved a much more effective rally car, winning on 13 occasions in 1954. However, like France's other quality motor manufacturers Salmson was struggling to survive and the factory was bought by Renault in 1957. A 2300 Sport was the last car off the production line.
