The publication is dedicated to the remarkable fate of the twelve-cylinder sports convertible Tatra 80 purchased in 1931 by the prominent industrialist Dr. Heinrich Schicht. It documents the history of the car, starting from its trade fair presentation through the repeated threat of extinction to the demanding reconstruction, after which it symbolically set off to its original locations in Ústí nad Labem and Prague. The author of the richly illustrated book is the leading internationally recognized expert on historical Tatra vehicles, Ing. arch. Pavel Kasík.
ENG: This publication deals with the remarkable history of the twelve-cylinder sports cabriolet Tatra 80 which was purchased by the prominent industrialist Dr. Heinrich Schicht in 1931. The history is documented from the car's first presentation at the Trade Fair Palace, through the repeated threats of its vanishing, to the demanding renovation after which it took a symbolic journey to locations of its original use: Ústí nad Labem and Prague. This richly illustrated book was written and compiled by Ing. arch. Pavel Kasík, a leading internationally-recognized expert on historic Tatra vehicles.

The Tatra limousines, produced between 1945 and 1999, had a special fate. Although they were always elegant cars with a unique technical concept, they carried a certain stigma with them. This was due to their almost exclusive purpose for a narrowly selected circle, especially political prominent people of the time. Even though these cars were not primarily sold on the regular market, their printed promotion in the form of brochures and posters was quite extensive. This resulted in many unique materials for domestic and foreign customers. And almost all of them have been concentrated in this book for the first time. A novelty in the publication this time is a total of 21 drawings, mainly of cars, by the artist Jan Hlavín, which introduce individual chapters and enrich the book artistically.

A representative publication with perfectly crafted graphics prepared by a renowned author. The content consists of descriptions of passenger cars manufactured in Czechoslovakia between 1918 and 1938, their basic technical data. In addition to cars from large factories (Praga, Škoda, Tatra), cars from smaller manufacturers (Aero, Jawa, Walter, Wikov, Z) are also presented, as well as cars from small brands (Disk, Enka, Gatter, Isis, Stelka, Trimobil ...) - a total of 33 of the most important brands. In each chapter, the reader will find sales statistics in individual years, period prices and other technical information. A total of 600 exclusively period photographs are used in the chapters of individual production brands. The last chapter contains 52 copies of period brochures of the listed car manufacturers. The new book will be an ornament to the library, a source of much new information, a pleasure for the reader and a joy for the owner ...

The book recalls more than 150 car models that were sold in Czechoslovakia between 1945 and 1990. Passenger cars of three dozen different brands came from domestic production, but also from imports, whether from Eastern or Western Europe, and exceptionally from Japan and South Korea. The car descriptions are illustrated by 450 mostly color photographs and drawings.

The Tatra 805 light truck was developed in the early 1950s – at a time when the whole of Europe was slowly recovering from the consequences of World War II. The first pages will acquaint readers with the then level of motorization of our army, which primarily initiated the need for a mobile 1.5-ton vehicle. In addition to the basic versions of the flatbed and box, other single-purpose superstructures were built on the existing chassis to perform specific army tasks. The comprehensive text will explain to readers what individual designations such as Šárka, Jarmila, Ezop, Mozek, Třinec and Neděle meant. The difficult-to-understand delimitations and transfers of the final assemblies of the T 805 between production plants are still evidence of „planned“ mistakes. Previously unpublished photographs, clearly arranged technical tables and drawings will remind witnesses of the „eight hundred and five“ from common army and civilian versions to unknown prototypes. The publication will help readers of younger generations understand technical possibilities in the context of the time.

Škoda, Tatra, Trabant, Wartburg, Polski Fiat, Dacia, Oltcit, Moskvich, Lada, Volga and other brands were an integral part of the pre-November era. Sometimes we turned our noses up at them and longed for something better. However, most of us had no choice. Today we can laugh about it, but we should not forget. Not only about that time, but also about the cars we drove back then.
