I've been away from the forum for quite a while now, but I have been busy. I still haven't got a Trabant but I did buy something East Bloc - a 1952 Tatraplan. Very exciting! It drives like a 1930s truck but it's bloody marvellous!!
Ohh that's so pretty! There are a couple of these floating about in Dublin, lovely woofle from the aircooled V8.
Greetings!! Air-cooled V8 motor was in Tatra 603 AND 613. Does Anyone know what happened to the UK upgraded 613's??
Didn't one pop up for sale recently? It's in Bristol, Prague apparently… http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C453400
Cool! My crazy friend wants one of those... If I recall the predecessor to the postwar Tatra was known as a secret weapon to kill high ranking Nazis. It seems Nazis has a fondness for both the car and aggressive driving which made the oversteer deadly. Much better than the modern “punching nazis in the face” moral question... pack a Tatra full of nazis and let them loose in the twisty mountain roads!
