Not less than four Tatras were shown at the Techno Classica Motorshow last weekend
The Tatra Freunde International club showed a cute T 57 sport
Dutchman Frans van Haren showed his wonderful T 80 convertible
A T 87 from a Swedish museum was put up for sale
A T 52 long chassis model was auctioned at the Essen Coys auction.
Offered at No Reserve, this 1934 T52 has had a thorough mechanical overhaul which included removing the engine, with the rods, pistons, clutch, rear axle, suspension and brakes all checked and either repaired or replaced. For example, one rod was replaced, 4 new rings were fitted and all valves polished and the starter motor was repaired along with the carburettor cleaned and regulated.
Further work included repairs to the speedometer and other dials on the dash and all mechanical items were cleaned from rust, dirt and oil.
Due to the methodical overhaul of the mechanics, we are informed the car is running with the bodywork in original condition and showing years of patination which could either be left as is, or of course restored to its former glory.
