Letters - Tatra

Sir

I was fascinated to read the article on the Oldtimer Grand Prix at Nürburgring and see the photograph of the white Tatra sports car captioned as being sedately driven but pictured as being on three wheels and enjoying some, what might be termed, desert racing. I am fortunate to own a T87 Tatra which has received some publicity over the last couple of years or so and in John Henry’s recently published book I was surprised to see how much pre-war racing history Tatra had.

Does any reader have any information on the Tatra pictured on page 993, such as its current owner and any known history?

Interestingly enough, with the opening up of Czechoslovakia, we are learning more and more about Tatras. There is now even a Tatra Club in Canada. The good word spreads.
