Last weekend, on a beautiful autumn day, we were filming the T 87 when we almost coolided with this 1954 VW, taking part in a rally. We recognised the similarities and decided to make some rapid photos.
A Moscow classic car salesman found this T 87 in Sochi.

Last summer, I went for a visit to the Baltic coast. While returning from the Peenemünde rocket testing grounds, I came across this Ostalgia museum. Though concentrating on every day life in the former GDR including lots of East German vehicles, it also had a fairly good T 613 and a T 603 on show. I made quite some photos, but the camera was lost/stolen.
We know that T 87s are spred around the globe for Europeans as far as Vietnam and Australia. But ever heard of a Icelandic Tatra? The photo was shot at Sauðholt in Holt in the county of Rangárvellir
Reactions are welcomed.
The Mullin Automotive Museum http://www.mullinautomotivemuseum.com/ has acquired a Tatra T 87. See: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/12/1938-tatra-type-87-4-door-saloon.html
This looks to be a very curious car. Recently discovered in Switserland, the 1948 T87 was taken off the road in 1955, stored dry and serviced till this very day and occaisionally taken for a short drive on Swiss garage plates. Still in a pretty good condition with its iriginal interior, the car was customised / modernised in the early fifties with fat (American?)bumpers and additionally chrome. Remarkably is that the third headlamp is missing. Reason is that Swiss law after the war did not allow a central headlamp, as it could be mistaken by a rail vehicle by other motorists. The Swiss importer therefore removed all central headlamps on newly imported T 87.
