T 603 engine for sale
Video: Tatra at the October 1936 Prague Motor Show
Greenstein/ DeLyser T 87 featured in the OldMotor
Paul Greenstein, who owns this 1941 Tatra T87 he found in upstate New York in 2001, happened upon an earlier post and photo here titled: A Tatra in New York City. He believes that there is a good possibility the car he and his girlfriend Dydia Delyser now own may in fact be the same car pictured in New York City at J.P. Inskip’s dealership on October 2, 1948. If any of our readers can help connect the dots between the car at Inskip’s in New York City and this car when it was traded in at Binghamton, New York, please do let us know. Paul relates the story of the unique story as follows: “The car was purchased from the factory at the end of May, 1941 by a car dealer-auto shop owner by the name of Vaclav Konstantin in the Moravian town of Olomouc. He ordered several of the cars and picked them up on consecutive weeks, probably for his customers. The next known whereabouts of the car was in Binghamton, NY around 1950 when it threw a rod and was traded in at Molyneux Lincoln Mercury. It sat on the lot as a wild and wooly come on, until sometime in the mid-sixties, when it was purchased and the restoration was started. The engine was rebuilt and replaced, but none of the cosmetics had been done, when the car came up for sale again”.

Dutch T 603 photographed in 1967
The two directors of PRANEDA, the Dutch Tatra truck importer, owned personal T 603s ordered in 1963. Shown here is the T 603 of mw. Quanjel. Originally the car was red and later white. It was used by Mat Quanjel himself and his daughter Elly. Still remembering Tatra, Elly Quanjel contributed to the Dutch Tatra book “Tatra onder de zeespiegel” but also visited this year’s TRN rally where she has a ride with Kees Smit’s T 87. She loved it, but missed the screaming sound of the T 603. Well, no problem. We organized a drive in the Wouter van Diepen/ Marije Koel T 603 and she came out in tears.

Loprais Interview
The training of Tatry, nicknamed the Queen of 69, has her pilot Ales (32) just a month. From it wants to make the most of virtually every hour. “We are doing everything possible to prepare for the Dakar 2014 best and to fight for the front positions,” stressed the fact that the intensive competition in Russia is still not on the mechanics did not stop the shipment and accompanying racing cars or stop.
You have indulged in the Silk Way Rally rest?
Not at all! At the time it was not thought of. We changed a lot of things on the car. Priority should improve cooling and suspension settings. We proceeded on the basis of knowledge. We also modified the control and stabilize the car.Followed by tests of the Slovak Republic, where we verify the correctness of these changes. After returning, we again recaptured flies and perform other modifications that you go check in the second half of October to Poland. We want to catch some tests in Hungary, where we focus on the final stabilization of the vehicle.
When embarking convoy racing and accompanying cars?
Very quickly it comes. In Le Havre, we handle it the 22ndNovember, it means that from Frenstat ride by 20 November.We’ll see them down to Buenos Aires.
And then finally comes peace …
No, because then there is a phase of our personal preparation, packaging, handling other administrative matters and getting the latest information from the places where he was going. In addition, there we go to the Emirates.
You go on vacation?
At the time there really is not. I was there for almost a turn to see where could be well natrénovat high dunes. We rent a jeep and there we learn approached a ride down the highest and nejkrkolomnější dunes in the desert near the Saudi border. In the passenger car is similar, only the truck must be circumspect, because it is much harder. We are interested in the interplay, we then giant dunes in South America nelekli. It will be good for getting used to the big heat. It is not to damage it in time recall. Train We will, of course, physically.
This year you surprised at the Dakar failure of electronics and batteries. Can something like this be prevented?
Dakar will always prepare something at all I do not suppose it could be. We have a completely different system, so … At the competition in Russia we have gained invaluable experience that can not be obtained even in the most demanding tests. I firmly believe that nothing unforeseen will not meet, but that the Dakar really can not tell.
Tell from last year’s some extra parts?
Tell me, but you always betray what you do, because you never thought that this film could just leave … What’s with you, neklekne. Part of spare parts tell us our second race car that will take in the colors of Praga and Budvar beer but nepoveze.Instead, there will be turbo.
Who is the crew of the second race Tatras?
Jan Tomanek, Michael Honda and Tomas Kasparek. They go to the Tatra Dakar already knows. They are relaxed about taking turns at the wheel, their goal is to reach and, if necessary, we provide the fastest and best service.
Your crew does not change?
There is no reason. Navigator is Serge Bruynkens, mechanic Radim Pustějovský, the crew includes mascot Mole.
How witnessed a new engine ready in workshops MKR Technology in the WAC?
We rented it and it’s not cheap. But it is very powerful when driving, it’s great. I call it, it is a chainsaw.
The way to go to Dakar?
Bring maximum power and I believe that the Queen will last.He has not, I believe her.
Expect stronger competition than it was in January this year?
The clear favorite is the factory Kamaz team. I saw them in Russia and have five outstanding pilots, not to mention the cars. To me, they are the strongest in history. Of course, the tip will fight De Roy and leading MAN trucks. We do not want to give away all the férovku, so we’re going to Dakar.
In what will be another year of track in 2014?
The organizers always promise that the new year will be harder than the discontinued. A fulfilling it. This time does not start in Peru, which I regret, because there were difficult dune passages in the beginning. This time it starts in Rosario. The first stage will be especially long and fast. It will be a lot of precision, will ride in shear. There’s plenty of dangerous, bottlenecks without escape zones. Heavy dunes come later.For all but it will be the same. Argentina ride, the bikers will look into Bolivia, we will go over the mountains into Chile, where he is a target.
