A few things to get you more interested. Tatra was the first company to really get into streamlining their cars. Decades before any other company did. And you thought the Beetle was a Volkswagen from Germany? Think again. A Czech developed concept car which was stolen / copied by the Nazis. Sort of.

Knock yourself out and do some googling. Enjoy!

That is awesome. One of the UK Classic comics imported one a few years ago, rear engined air cooled V8!!!

Tatra are more well known these days for there brilliantly engineered military Kolos 815 trucks with central spine chassis and fully independent suspension

I see Bringatrailer have highlighted the auction of this, amongst three other cars in the auction. Not that surprising, given their long-standing love affair with all things Tatra. Nice bit of additional publicity!
