SLOVAK SHOT – An unexpected technical defect thwarted the arrival of the national technical monument‼ ️
The ceremonial event was to take place today on the occasion of the arrival of the motor car M290.002 after two years of renovation in the new pavilion in Kopřivnice????
After completing all renovations, the missile was assembled and subjected to operational tests, which are to confirm that it will be able to repeat safe operation, even when reaching a maximum design speed of 130 km / h. Unfortunately, during Sunday’s test, the rubber, so-called Hardy couplings were damaged, which ensure a flexible connection of coaxial shafts, transmitting torque from the drive units to the chassis
Due to the fact that it is a historical exhibit, using today’s not commonly used design solutions, thorough operational tests are the only way to prevent possible future failures.
The repair will take several weeks.
However, all evil may be good for something. Due to the current situation with coronavirus, the event would be very intimate only with invited guests, as the limit of persons according to government regulations is only 5️⃣0️⃣
The new date of arrival has not yet been set, but it will be the turn of February and March 2021. We firmly believe that public participation will take place on this date and it will be a dignified event that this unique hybrid motor train deserves????
Thank you all for your understanding and we will inform you about further details
On its way to the paintshop….

51st International Tatra Veteran Rally Beskydy 2020
100 years of Jaroslav Pavelka 5. 9. 2020
This year’s 51st International Tatra Veteran Rally Beskydy, traditionally organized by TVCC Kopřivnice, was dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the birth of Tatra racer Jaroslav Pavelka. The sleepy ride led to the athlete’s birthplace – the village of Libhošť. More than 100 beautiful Tatra mountains illuminated the local sports complex. In the end, only one vehicle of the museum veterans took part in the ride – the Tatra T 57 with Michal Preiss, the other did not drive at all due to its technical condition. The program included a panel exhibition and the documentary Závodník Jaroslav Pavelkawhose implementation arose from the initiative of the municipality of Libhošť. For the implementation, we managed to collect a large number of documents from various, which did not even fit into the final version of the presentation. For this occasion, we borrowed a T2-607 monopost from the collection – the first Tatra formula, which also celebrates the 70th anniversary of its existence. After a few years, the exhibit left the environment of the museum and was exhibited outdoors. An important part of the all-day program was also the unveiling of a memorial plaque at the birthplace of Jaroslav Pavelka. The act of revelation was even attended by Pavelek’s wife and daughter and husband, who were affected by strong emotions. We bring a selection photo gallery from the whole day. Thank you for managing to recall the memory of the personality of post-war Tatra racing – Jaroslav Pavelka.
