Röhr Junior returns to the roads in Holland

RohrJuniorNL2010A 1933 Röhr Junior, a German 1.5 litre saloon built under license from Tatra, showed up at a Dutch classic car meeting. According to its owner, it’s just one of five-six Röhr Juniors still in existence. The very car is believed to be in Holland for at least more than three decades, but returned to the road under new ownership.

 

RohrJuniorBonnetOpen2010Some history: Through Tatra’s German subsidiary, Detra of Frankfurt, a license agreement was agreed between Tatra and the Neuen Röhr-Werke Ltd. Röhr introduced their “Junior” with a modified and sized down engine of the Tatra T 75 at the Berlin Motor Show that very year.  The Tatra based Röhr became a success, becoming Röhr best sold model ever. The model couldn’t save Röhr however. After the bankruptcy of the Neue Röhr-Werke AG, in 1935 Stoewer bought the production machinery together with the Tatra licence and continued output.
