1000 Czechoslovak mils 1933, 1934, 1935, Petr Kožíšek
To give a concise overview of the extensive content, it is possible to write that the representative publication captures the author's dedication to the specific discipline of automobile racing, held with various variations up to the present day. The intention of the first year of the competition, which began to be prepared in the Autoklub na Opletalová in February 1933, was to promote the domestic automobile industry affected by the economic crisis. The description of the three pre-war years takes up two-thirds of the publication's content. Some of the original photographs of the competition cars were stored in the archives of the Technical Museum, photos of the prototypes were discovered quite by chance in an unused archive, another series of photographs were borrowed from family albums of generations that know the direct participants only from preserved oral memories. Details of the individual years are presented by copies of the period press. Several original photographs show factory cars that never participated in any other races or competitions; after the end of the first year of the "miles", they were destroyed by the manufacturer - they did not live up to expectations. The following pages describe the commemorative years starting in 1970, when there were already enough enthusiastic owners of historic vehicles across the country. The last part contains the lists of starters and the results tables of the pre-war years.
Motorcycle trailers Pav, Jiří Bartuš
A novelty is coming to bookshelves in the Retro edition, because motorcycle sidecars form an integral, but little-known part of Czechoslovak motoring history. The book provides readers with a comprehensive picture of the history of the use of sidecars in conjunction with motorcycles, which was a direct and logical consequence of the specific post-war development of motoring in Czechoslovakia. The specificity of Czechoslovak development is confirmed by the fact that in no other country has the use of motorcycle sidecars been so widespread as in Czechoslovakia. The book's advantage is a detailed mapping of the development of motorcycle sidecars in Czechoslovakia, both directly of the PAv sidecars, whose purposeful and yet very tasteful and timeless design embodied the materialization of efforts to use the motorcycle as a full-fledged means of transport, as well as of predecessors and also of amateur-built sidecars, for which the PAv sidecars were an inspiration. Individual sidecars are described in detail and appropriately documented photographically. Based on the processing of many period documents, the book also provides information on the practical operation of carts, their maintenance and repairs.
Maintenance and repairs of ČZ 125 and 150C motorcycles, Augustin Šulc, Karel Šulc, Augustin Šulc jun.
Grada introduces a new book, it was ready for printing in 1955, but unfortunately it was not published then. Its content is articles that were published in the magazine Svět Motorů in the years 1953–1955. In them, the Šulc brothers devoted themselves to the maintenance and repair of the best-selling ČZ motorcycles, which are still the most widespread among collectors and veterans today. Many motorcyclists keep their motorcycles in good condition, but there are few who can adjust their motorcycle correctly, and even fewer who can find a fault and fix it. Why? Because they do not know their motorcycle. That is why we want to help them. With these words, the Šulc brothers began a series of 25 articles that were to be published in a sequel, and which they planned to publish as a manual. They covered in detail riding techniques (breaking in a new motorcycle, riding uphill, riding in the dark), maintenance (cleaning, lubricating, chain tensioning, adjusting brakes, caring for tires), but also more complex topics (disassembling the carburetor, adjusting the igniter, regrinding the cylinder, wheel alignment, engine repairs, removing and installing bearings, and other technical details. The articles are supplemented with technical photographs from the ČZ archive, comments on repair procedures from a contemporary perspective, and assessments of what is usable and what is not. The Šulc brothers' insider advice will certainly be appreciated by the entire community of veteran bikers even after years.

200 Československých motoristických plaket z období 1922-1939
K výstavě PUDR a BENZÍN Troja 2000 připravil autor katalog s vyobrazením více jak 200 kusů pamětních plaket, mnohdy tvořených podle návrhů významných osobností designu – Španiel, Nušl, Axmann, Švec, Pištora, Pichl a další. Rozhodující pro výběr byla dvě kritéria – aby plaketa byla vydaná na území Československa v období před druhou světovou válkou. Motoristické plakety jsou v dnešní době úzce specializovanou sběratelskou disciplínou. Publikace poučí a může nasměrovat k tématické tvorbě soukromé sbírky.
The Road to Favorit, Jan Králík
The author knew more than thirty-three years ago that the long and, above all, thorny path of development and production of the Favorit passenger car was worth carefully documenting. He had to reject the ideas of that time, he waited and waited! Developing anything new while trying to comply with the extensive tangle of many restrictions and prohibitions resulting from completely meaningless regulations was completely impossible during the years of normalization. Even though the original idea to produce a new type of passenger car within the framework of the Common Market came from the highest party positions. But the design tendencies of world car manufacturers indicated significantly different solutions from the originally intended ones. The gradual development, sometimes even illegal, was taken up by the administrative people in Mladá Boleslav. The amount of work with development and then with the preparation of production was unimaginable, but the people were enthusiastic. The most energy and time was taken up by the battles with the „windmills“ – at that time in the form of the state apparatus. When the Favorit was put into production, the leaders were melting in superlatives. Just like Ing. Andrej Barčák, then director of the PZO Motokov business group: "The Favorit was a groundbreaking project for Škoda. Škoda designed and then produced a car comparable to their European competition under significantly worse conditions. At the beginning, there were just a lot of restrictions, nothing was approved, big risks were taken, but Škoda had no reason to be ashamed of the result."„

Central Bohemian Races and Circuits, A Century of Central Bohemian Road Racing, Jaroslav Kotrbáček and Jiří Wohlmuth
Acceptable distances between populated places, as well as a good road network in Central Bohemia, have made it possible to write an interesting history of racing in this region. Long-distance races, hill races and city circuits began to be held here more than 110 years ago. In many towns, racing had only a fleeting existence and after the first year, no more followed (Kralupy nad Vltavou, Vlašim, Horoměřice, Roztoky u Prahy). However, there were places where racing took place for several decades (Městec Králové – 40 years; Kolín – 16 years; Mělník – 13 years). For each of the thirty-nine places, the authors found the exact race routes, information from the organizing activities and result lists with the names of competitors, both known and unknown, and spiced everything up with interesting facts from the period press. Witnesses will reminisce over the pages, and representatives of the younger generations will wonder where and on what roads the racers fought for supremacy.
Ace of Hearts, Miloslav Souček
With the warm words of the foreword by Prof. Pavek, which will set the reader in the right mood, the author slowly begins to unwind a continuous strip of memories. About his apprenticeship in a car repair shop and his first contacts with motorcycle handlebars, about exploring off-road motorcycle races. It is absolutely natural that Míla Souček likes to remember motorcycle sports in the colors of the army team - of course, after all, he was young, healthy and overcame random life obstacles with a smile. A separate chapter in his life, to which the author likes to return, is the period of motorcycle competitions with participation in the Six-Day Motorcycle Competition in Zlín in 1955. Between the lines, the perceptive reader can sense the devotion to motorcycles from Divišov. With ESO motocross specials of all three cubic capacities, he achieved success for our colors on tracks included in the European Championship. The last pages of the memories belong to motocross in Stříbr in 1963.
Reminisce with the author, recall the names and motocross tracks in the country and abroad.

The history of Škoda cars from 1905 to the present, Jiří Dufek, Jan Králík
A selection of the most famous cars produced in Mladá Boleslav. The technical development of cars is evident in the individual types from the first Laurinka to the present. Each model is presented in a detailed technical transparency by Jiří Dufek, supplemented by other technical drawings or examples of drawing documentation. The profile of each of the cars on display is illustrated in detail by color and black-and-white photographs from the archives of the authors and the car manufacturer. A large amount of visual material is connected by interesting texts by Jan Králík about the development of individual models, their production and sporting successes, and it also introduces several personalities from the many who have contributed to the success or fame of Mladá Boleslav cars. The narrative color book will delight anyone who is at least a little interested in cars and will certainly appeal to die-hard fans of Škoda cars.
Motorcycles in the Great War 1914 – 1918, Miloslav Straka
Another in a series of works by the renowned author deals with motorcycle history again, this time against the backdrop of World War I. It is published at a time when a hundred years have passed since its course, and the consequences of which fatally influenced the further development of all sectors in Europe. The book is not a historical study of the war, but has the ambition to present the role of motorcycles and the soldiers who served with them in the war. Motorcycles in the Great War performed a number of specific tasks. In addition to the very important courier service, they also served in ambulance and reconnaissance services. Armies used motorcycles on almost all battlefields, but the largest number was on the Western Front on the side of the Allies. The book introduces readers to individual variants of military machines, technical details, a detailed description of the most used models and the history of the brands represented. The publication brings a lot of interesting information not only to our regular fans of motorcycle history, but should also appeal to fans of military history and militaries in general.
Jawa 50 Pioneer – history, development, technology, sport – 2nd, expanded edition, Jiří Wohlmuth
The second edition of this unique publication supplements and clarifies some previously published facts about the history and technical parameters of this small-displacement motorcycle. The history of the very latest machines from the World Championship is newly recalled and data on current activities on the racing field are added. This edition contains more than half of the new, previously unpublished photographs.
Jawa Californian – history, development, technology, renovation – 2nd expanded edition, Jiří Bartuš
Jawa Californian – motorcycles that, with some exceptions, were intended only for foreign customers, leave hardly any one-track fan indifferent. The second edition of the successful publication will reveal what preceded their creation, how they developed and what influenced the sale of motorcycles from Czechoslovak manufacturers to the North American continent since 1945.
Tatra 805: history, tactical-technical data, modifications, Jiří Frýba
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.
The legendary Skoda 1000 MB
For readers interested in the history of motoring, a book about the development, preparation and mass production of the Czech passenger car has been prepared on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Škoda 1000 MB. The first part contains a brief recapitulation of the post-war predecessors from 1946 to 1964. A number of previously unpublished photographs will present prototypes and serial "thousands". The content offers high-quality and verified information about technical parameters, interesting facts from production, the number of units produced for the domestic and foreign markets, and sporting successes.
Jawa rocker: motorcycle types 351-361, Jiří Wohlmuth
„"Kývačky" were in production since 1954. In the beginning it was a motorcycle of modern design and due to the limited range of offer it became the most widespread type on domestic roads. The chassis was universal, suitable for mounting two-stroke air-cooled engines of five displacement classes.
The first pages of the book contain a brief introduction with a quick overview of pre-war production. The rest of the content will enlighten the reader about the extensive history with period photographs of prototypes, dimensional sketches, photographs of sports and civilian versions from period newspapers, and detailed descriptions of the differences between the individual types. The chapters also focus on important figures involved in development and production, motorcycle racers of all categories, sales abroad, and the book also contains a reprint of part of the manual, copies of period brochures, and extensive technical tables.
