In German: Tatra 87 – Auferstehung eines besonderen Automobils

no comment Posted by smitkees

Tatra 87 Wrack

Tatra 87, auch „Achter“ genannt, stellt den Höhepunkt der Konstruktionskunst im tschechischen Automobilwerk Tatra, in Koprivnice dar.

Seine Konstrukteure, Hans Ledwinka und Erich Überlacker haben in dem Automobil alle ihre bisherigen Erfahrungen vereint und sinnvoll realisiert. Luftgekühlter Motor, aerodynamische Karosserie ein leichtes, steifes Fahrwerk mit zentralem tragendem Rohr. Dieses Konzept hat sich über Jahrzehnte auch bei schweren Lastwagen bestens bewährt. Das zentrale Rohr hat sogar der geniale Schweizer Motorradkonstrukteur Fritz Egli, zum Beispiel beim „Egli-Honda“ für seine Rennmaschinen adaptiert.

Nailed to the ground by a T 87 in Munich

no comment Posted by smitkees

I was in Munich for DLD, a conference, and I had a morning to kill.  So I joined a group tour of modern art museum Pinakothek der Moderne’s design wing.  There was all kinds of impressive stuff — but I immediately gravitated to a crazy-looking, beautiful car.

VW-Tatra secret cooperation?

T57K-VW

Whoever doubted that VW and Tatra ever built a vehicle together, should look at this picture.

But what do the small letters on the license plate mean?

Dutch T 603 photographed in 1967

T603HAV2013

The two directors of PRANEDA, the Dutch Tatra truck importer, owned personal T 603s ordered in 1963. Shown here is the T 603 of mw. Quanjel. Originally the car was red and later white. It was used by Mat Quanjel himself and his daughter Elly.  Still remembering Tatra, Elly Quanjel contributed to the Dutch Tatra book “Tatra onder de zeespiegel” but also visited this year’s TRN rally where she has a ride with Kees Smit’s T 87. She loved it, but missed the screaming sound of the T 603. Well, no problem. We organized a drive in the Wouter van Diepen/ Marije Koel T 603 and she came out in tears.
