The idea to start a T77 & T77a register about remaining T 77 & T77a’s started in 2005 when replicas of the T 77 and T 77a were getting build on request of customers.
This register hopes to inform you about the history of all the cars known to the register.
In order to establish a complete registry of all the Tatra T77 and T77a models still around, we are trying to list all the vehicle identification numbers (VIN) and to collect the maximum of informations.
If you have specifications, colours, pictures, serial numbers or questions, comments, reviews, please contact the webmaster in Dutch, English or German at smitkees@planet.nl
