Then lightning struck one day while I was driving north on Highway 1 around Bodega Bay. Two silver Tatra T87s flew by in the opposite direction. I was captivated by the aerodynamic silhouette and the unique details. When I saw the dorsal fin on the back and the third headlight I knew I had to have one.

While at the Frantisek Prosecky Rally on August 10, in Bystrice nad Pernstejem, I came across this rare T 75 with a body built in Brno. According to the owner of the car, it was an unknown firm to him. Ideas and solutions of the unknown body shop are welcomed.
While at the opening of Frantisek Prosecky’s new Tatra museum in Bystrice nad Pernstejem, featuring tens of cars, motorcycles, mopeds, radios, fashion, pedal cars, toy cars, models and automobiles, I saw two rare Tatras: a T 72 and an unknown Tatra. A arge hearse with a T 97 nose. It appeared to be a T 30 chassis, fitted with a a hearse body from the unknown coach builder Kladno of Prague. Built in 1938, it features a lengthened T 97 nose.

South – west of Hannover, at Haemelschenburgh Castle, two freshly restored T 87s, running on German garage plates, were spotted by a group of Dutch motorcyclists on tour. Photos: Hans de Jong.
