Meeting August Lacina and a T603 B5 1966 Video
Owner Jiri Prochazka, August Lacina, Kees Smit
Members of the former Tatra race team used to meet once a year for a beer and nostalgic talks. They then also visited the start?finish of the local circuit, the Stramberk-Rybi-Zavisice triangle, t6he public roads not only used for incidental races, but also for Tatra testing. Regrettably, due to age problems, deaths and other problems, only August Lacina was able to be present. As a navigator, he teamed up with Milan Hruby, Jiri Pelucha, Ivan Micik and others. But for at least three years he teamed up with the well-known Jaroslav Pavelka.
How I lost my Beetle. A documentary
Last sunday, the “How I lost my beetle” Josef Ganz documentary debuted at the Louwman Museum in the Hague. https://josefganz.org/documentary-release-ganz-how-i-lost-my-beetle/ Video (Trailer) https://youtu.be/6W5ZbDN9df4 Unlike Schilperoord’s publications on the Ganz-VW priority battle, the documentary solely tells the personal story about Ganz’ (controversial) claim loosing his designs to the Nazis. A technical comparison between Ganz’ designs and the VW beetle isn’t part of the documentary. The documentary however pays attention to the restoration of an early Standard Superior, found in the former GDR. The absence of a technical discussion puts the documentary regrettably in a victim famework. It is the Nazis against Ganz. Herbie versus the Shoa as the documentary producer put it.

Tatras at Techno Classica 2019
The Tatra Register Deutschland showed the Gail family owned 1937 T57a. With its bonnet open, it attracted lots of vattention, people asking the stand staff about its peculiar construction. But even more, Tatra owners visited the TRD stand in hall 8 to share experiences and have a drink.
Dutch classic car firm Nico Aaldering offered a nice T 87 at E 230.000
Video where Nico Aaldering tells his audience the well-known juicy nonsense about Tatra, Nazi Germany and VW. : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqquL0BUEIM
Where the Aaldering T 87 was experienced as expensive, an immaculate Ecorra restored T 87 topped the Aaldering one by another E 110.000 resulting in an asking price of E 340.000. Luckily, most classic car traders at the show, experienced that prices of classic cars are dropping at the moment.
