In the early 1920s, the Scottish Light Car Trial witnessed a remarkable display of automotive prowess as various manufacturers showcased their vehicles' capabilities. Among them were Talbot of HG Day and Salmson of Armand Bovier, whose cars left an indelible mark on the event. Armand Bovier's Salmson open sports 2-seater was a sight to behold as it gracefully maneuvered through challenging terrains during the Scottish Light Car Trial in 1922. Its sleek design and powerful engine made it a force to be reckoned with, captivating both spectators and fellow competitors alike. Not far behind was HG Cassie's Mathis 7. 5 hp, which proved its mettle alongside Armand Bovier's Salmson. The two cars formed an impressive duo that conquered obstacles with finesse and precision throughout the trial. Their performance showcased not only their manufacturers' ingenuity but also their drivers' skillful handling. The competition intensified when Talbot's 8/18 model entered the fray under HG Day's guidance. This formidable vehicle demonstrated exceptional endurance while navigating treacherous paths, further solidifying its reputation as a reliable contender in such trials. But amidst all these notable participants, one name stood out: Fontenelle. Whether it was Guilleminot or Cook at the wheel, Dumont or St Aubin taking charge - Fontenelle consistently impressed with its unwavering determination and unmatched reliability. Fontenelle had become synonymous with excellence over time; its legacy stretching back centuries to FONTENELLE (1657-1757), a renowned French philosopher who epitomized intellectual brilliance. Just like his namesake car brand competing in this trial, he challenged conventions and pushed boundaries – leaving an everlasting impact on history. As each car raced against time during this prestigious event, they embodied innovation and resilience - qualities that defined both their manufacturers' legacies and the spirit of the Scottish Light Car Trial.
