Spotted this rather odd garage over in the UK a few weeks back...

Wowzers, that is amazing - as in the AC GT Zagato. Is that the only one in existence?

[VetteD]

I don't think there are too many of them!!

Here's another one of it.

Yup 'tis Johno.

Magnificent beast those Tatras. Spotted 3 of them laid up together in a yard in Greenwich last year when I was there (without a camera of course)



Air cooled rear engine V8 if memory serves correct ..

I saw that car on the road about a year ago, spotted it near liffey valley. Cool looking machine. Probably the only one in the country. Not sure I've seen another one.

The owner has run Tatras for years, great to see someone taking an interest in something so unusual. Not too far from where I live & I regularly walk by with the doggies.

Nice story about the Tatra company itself, one of the oldest car making company in the world, founded in 1850 but yet totally unknown by most I would say (Myself included until today).
Tatra makes civil and military trucks now exclusively since the last few years.
