Introduction
The Eastern European countries seemed to have a passion for rear engined cars - well at least the car manufacturers did. From Czechoslovakia comes the Tatra 613, a rear engined
air-cooled V8 saloon.
Designed by Vignale of Italy, the car was swift but quiet, and the reported
handling of the car was much improved over its predecessor, the Tatra 603. To do this, Tatra moved the motor further forward than was the case on the 603.
Once extremely rare, with the opening up of Eastern Europe there are some Tatra's available and, as with any unique vehicle, a dedicated band of enthusiasts are now preserving the marque.
