The Italian TFI Delegazione Italiana organised a meeting for Tatras and Fiat 130s last weekend. Location was the Isle of Elba; a name familiar to historians among us. Think about Napoleon.

Withdrawal of Peru from the 2016 Dakar and cancelation of the 2015 Desafio Inca


Issy-les-Moulineaux, 24th of August, 2015
Withdrawal of Peru from the 2016 Dakar and
cancelation of the 2015 Desafio Inca

The Organizers of the Dakar have acknowledged the final decision of the Peruvian authorities to cancel the Inca Desafío, which was scheduled to be held this coming 11 to 13 September, as well as the stages of the 2016 Dakar that were presented last April during a joint press conference.

Due to forecasts concerning the El Nino weather phenomenon, which is expected to be extremely violent this year, the Peruvian government has decided to make this issue a national priority by ensuring that all state services are able to mobilize if necessary to help the population that could be affected.

While hoping that the people of Peru will not have to face these predicted disasters, the entire Dakar organizing team is already hard at work to create an alternative route with optimal sporting and safety conditions both in Argentina and Bolivia.

The Dakar organizing team is at the disposal of all the competitors who have already entered to provide all relative information concerning these route changes in a timely manner.

The final route of the 2016 Dakar will be announced in the second half of September.

Galerie Riesenbeck’s new exhibition

no comment Posted by smitkees

Glänzende Limousinen als Repräsentanten einer vergangenen Zeit (English text below)

Angermünde (MOZ) Sie glänzen im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes vor Eleganz und aristokratischem Charakter. Einst fuhren sie vor allem Staatsoberhäupter und Wirtschaftsbosse mit Chauffeuren, heute sind es Raritäten, Lieberhaberstücke einer untergegangenen Automobillegende – Tatras. Die größte, einzigartige Sammlung der tschechischen Pkw-Marke ist in Angermünde zu sehen. Die Tatra-Galerie Riesebeck bewahrt Modelle aller Generationen der 100-jährigen Tatra-Geschichte und damit zugleich authentisch ein Stück unwiederbringliche Historie der Automobiltechnik.

Am Wochenende wurde hier eine neue Ausstellung eröffnet, die sich speziell dem Tatra-Design widmet. Anlass ist der 40. Jahrestag der Serienproduktion des Tatra 613, der damals eine ganz neue Generation begründen und die Tatraproduktion revolutionieren sollte, erklärte Robert Keil zur Eröffnung der Ausstellung, die eine überwältigende Besucherresonanz fand. Tatrafreunde aus ganz Deutschland, Oldieliebhaber und Technikbegeisterte aus allen Teilen der Uckermark und des Barnim, Familien mit Kindern, Touristen, die zufällig von dem noch relativ unentdeckten Angermünder Kleinod erfuhren, ließen sich von der Faszination der charismatischen Limousinen und Technik zum Anfassen anstecken. Begründer der einzigartigen Tatrasammlung sind Iris und Jürgen Riesebeck, die aus ganz privater Liebhaberei 1978 ihren ersten Tatra als Alltagsauto erwarben. In späteren Jahren, als das Ehepaar, das eine traditionsreiche Autowerkstatt in Angermünde betrieb, sich aus dem Arbeitsleben zurückzog, restaurierte Jürgen Riesebeck immer mehr Fahrzeuge dieser Marke. Beide beschäftigten sich intensiv mit der Geschichte und bauten die Tatra-Galerie auf. Die ist inzwischen ein Treffpunkt der internationalen Tatra-Szene. So kam auch der Münchner Sammler Robert Keil nach Angermünde und gehört seit vielen Jahren zum engen Kreis der Tatra-Familie.

Die jüngste Ausstellung war ein Herzenswunsch des erst kürzlich verstorbenen Jürgen Riesebeck, der das Konzept dafür noch gemeinsam mit seiner Frau entwickelt hatte. Iris Riesebeck will das Lebenswerk ihres Mannes bewahren und die Galerie weiterhin mit Leben erfüllen, und führt jeden, der sich dafür interessiert, durch die Ausstellung. Auch Kfz-Lehrlinge sind hier regelmäßig zu Gast. Den ganzen Nachmittag strömten Besucher durch die Fahrzeughallen, staunten, fachsimpelten, lauschten den Anekdoten der Tatrabesitzer von weiten Autoreisen durch die sozialistischen Länder, schlafenden Kindern im geräumigen Heckraum, den unverwüstlichen Motoren der legendären Tatras und standen ehrfürchtig vor Raritäten, wie dem Tatra Spezial, einer Sonderanfertigung, von der insgesamt nur 25 Stück produziert wurden. Das letzte in Deutschland erhaltene Modell steht in Angermünde.

Shiny limousines as representatives of a bygone era

Angermünde (MOZ) They shine in the truest sense of the word with elegance and aristocratic character. Once they drove mainly heads of state and business leaders with chauffeurs, today there are rarities, dear Haber pieces of a bygone automotive legend – Tatras. The largest, unique collection of Czech car brand can be seen in Angermünde. The Tatra Gallery Riesebeck preserved models of all generations the 100th Tatra story and with it a piece of authentic irretrievable history of automotive engineering.
A new exhibition was opened on the weekend, specifically dedicated to the Tatra design. The occasion is the 40th anniversary of the series production of the Tatra 613, which should give rise to a whole new generation and revolutionize the Tatra production at the time, Robert Keil told the opening of the exhibition, which was an overwhelming response from visitors. Tatra friends from all over Germany, oldies lovers and art enthusiasts from all parts of the Uckermark and Barnim, families with children, tourists, learned by chance of the relatively undiscovered Angermünder gem, could be infected by the fascination of the charismatic sedans and hands-on technology. Founder of the unique Tatra collection are Iris and Jürgen Riesebeck, in 1978 their first Tatra acquired from all private hobby as an everyday car. In later years, when the couple who ran a traditional car workshop in Angermünde, withdrew from the labor force, restored Jürgen Riesebeck more and more vehicles of the same brand. Both were acutely aware of the history and built the Tatra Gallery on. The has become a meeting place for the international Tatras scene. So also the Munich collector Robert Keil came to Angermünde and belongs since many years to the inner circle of the Tatra family.
The most recent exhibition was a heart’s desire of recently deceased Jürgen Riesebeck who had the idea for yet developed together with his wife. Iris Riesebeck wants to preserve her husband’s life’s work and continue to meet the gallery with life, and leads everyone who is interested in it, through the exhibition. Also automotive apprentices are here regular guest. All afternoon streamed visitors through the vehicle halls, were amazed, talked shop, heard anecdotes of Tatra owners of wide road trips by the socialist countries, sleeping children in the spacious rear compartment, the indestructible engines of legendary Tatras and stood in awe of rarities, such as the Tatra special, a Custom-made, produced by the total of only 25 pieces. The last surviving model in Germany is in Angermünde.

ŠKODA 935 Dynamic at the Bensberg Classics

no comment Posted by smitkees

Skoda935Bensberg2015

Skoda is celebrating 120 years of existence this year and took nine of its rarest classics at the Bensberg Classics exhibition near Cologne, Germany.

The major attraction was of course the Skoda 935 Dynamic prototype, a streamlined concept dating back to 1935 which was carefully restored back to its original condition by Skoda themselves.

This is after all the only one in existence globally, with its last public appearance set back in October 1935(!) at the Motor Show in Prague where the Skoda 935 Dynamic made its debut. With its teardrop-shaped body, the 935 was exhibiting one of the most progressive designs in the auto industry at the time.

The mid-engined concept is using a body made out of aluminum/steel composite which kept the weight figure down at 1170kg. The water-cooled flat-four 2.0-litre engine is mounted in front of the rear axle and produces 54hp, enough the take the aerodynamic 935 at speed up to 140km/h. Measuring 4.86m in length, 1.68m wide and 1.54m high, this Skoda prototype is a testament of the innovative power that fuelled Skoda back then.

The car was a part of a private collection from 1939 and up until 1968 where the then newly-founded Skoda Museum bought it with Skoda deciding a full restoration back to its original glory in 2012.

Skoda showcased nine cars in total, with the rest of them to be the Laurin & Klement Voiturette A (1905), Laurin & Klement Type S (1911), Laurin & Klement 110 (1925), ŠKODA 645 (1930), ŠKODA Rapid Cabrio de Luxe (1937), ŠKODA Superb OHV (1939), ŠKODA Felicia (1961) and the ŠKODA 1100 MBX (1969).

Gert Huzink’s Tatra Phoenix improved for the 2016 Dakar

no comment Posted by smitkees

Schermafbeelding 2015-06-09 om 13.39.27

The former Marcel Schoo Tatra Phoenix, now owned by the Riwald Dakar Team, experienced lack of power and brakes that were running too hot in the 2015 Dakar.  The Tatra now has a Volvo/Renault engine giving an extra 300 hp and 1200-1300 Nm extra. Brakes are now ceramic ones, giving much improvement.
