Tatra 613
Anybody know of any in the UK?
I'm interested in engine info for the later tatra aircooled v8's, dawned on me the other day they are probably pretty light, which might
make them an interesting prospect.
Would probably need a trip in a van to Czech to pick up a load of spares but just wondered!!
In case you are wondering what the hell I'm on about:

....................somebody is obviously racing one!!!!!...........
race tatra v8!!
and they look almost locost sized, certainly smaller than a rover, especially when you consider they are air cooled so no rads etc.......

you don't fancy selling the engine and box out of it do ya????
I'm just going off at a tangent as usual thinking thet maybe a pair of fiat 126 grassers, one with the tatra motor and one with the twin v twins
might be interesting!!

Perfect!!!
It needs to go in the rear of the grasser!!!
It needs to be light, have lots of torque, have no radiator to block up.
The later 613 v8's appear to be quad cam, and are certainly 220hp in std form in the road cars.

There was a company in Towcester that imported and tweaked them a bit, always seemed nice cars to me.

Still parked outside his house at the moment, along with the VW Transporter that he's been trying to shift for a while.
Edited as he's sold the thing...........
