Handle for motor vehicle drivers

Did you know that the TATRA 815 had superstructures for laying railway tracks, building bridges or handling scrap metal? All this and much more will be covered in a new book entitled: "TATRA 815 - a legend on posters and in brochures, 1983-2024", authored by publicist Martin Kupec. The book will feature, from his collections and the collections of his fellow collectors, brochures and posters of the original T 815, gradually modernized versions of the T 815-2, TERRN°1, TERRA, or variants such as the T 815-6 or JAMAL up to the T 815-7 FORCE. It will also include posters and brochures for the Paris Dakar, Tatra expeditions around the world and, in particular, various superstructures produced by other manufacturers, both existing and now defunct. The development of advertising will be supplemented with technical data, information on exports and other interesting facts. The introductory pages of a total of 17 chapters will also feature additional drawings of vehicles by the artist Ing. Arch. Jan Hlavín. The expert advisor is Ing. Milan Olšanský, a TATRA TRUCKS employee.

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.
