Tatra V8

  A rather unique Czech car built from 1936 to 1950, with a break for WW2.  The rear mounted 3 litre air-cooled V8 could push the car to nearly 160 kph.  3056 units were made.

They're nice; fast and comfy. I haven't been in a moving 77 or 87, but I have been in the more modern 603. The Luftwaffe banned their pilots from driving them because of their handling vagaries... D.

Amazing... I would have thought that a taste for decadent western jazz music and reckless joyriding of the laborious class' best technological production was a sure ticket to reeducation camp in 60's Czechoslovakia...
