T613Koreaimg1776zNorthern Korea bought 500 T 613-3s in the years after the fall of the Iron Curtain.  Though tatra delivered a few in 1990 and over 200 a year later, the order was cancelled mid way leaving the Koprivnce works with hundreds of T 613s already built with hardly a European market for it.  Photos of the Korean T 613s are extremely rare, but last October a tourist photographed a few.
