Popped into my mate's garage the other day, only to find this in the yard. It's in for body and paint, and it's remarkably solid.    I love the clock, reminds me of an alarm clock I had when I was a kid.  The business end. 3 litres of air-cooled V8 I know it's a Tatra, and my googling tells me it's a T87. Amazing what turns up in the most unexpected places! |

just been looking at the design for this motor on utube  although the one in your pics has a different engine, and twin foglight apertures instead of single |

... the only injury I sustained was a bumped head when I let the seatbelt of without realizing the car was upside down  and that's not really the car's fault. |

He's also got an Imp in for wide arches and a respray, and a rubber bumper Midget. He's told me to come back in a couple of weeks when the paint's on it. All I know is it'll be grey. |

When the car arrived, they had five of them trying to push it in, but couldn't due to the weight (as far as I could tell it appears to be made from 16-gauge steel and it weighs about 2.5 tons). They towed it in with a Transit, but the owner advised them to be careful as it had no brakes, and it would demolish the Transit if it hit it! |
