Every now and then old photos of Tatra bitzas show up. Frenchman Michael Ravel posted some photos at the “Tatra en France” blog of his unique restored Tatra T57K open wheeled sports car. It was built by his grandpa on the basis of a former Wehrmacht T57K Kübel in 1945-1948. The central tube chassis was retained and disc wheels were used initially. Later wire wheels were fitted. The open two-seater featured an alloybody with large cooling openings for the T57K boxer engine and a fin on its back, not unlike Tatra’s streamliners and modern F1 cars. Headlamps were placed close together, like the Peugeot 202/302/402 series.
The vehicle was restored and since 2008 presented at several car shows.
