Title: PN #04 - Solved: Tatra 57 Special by Ernst Krickl, 1934
Post by: pnegyesi on October 04, 2009, 10:28:06 AM

This is a lot easier than my 5th puzzle, so Make, model, name of the guy who created the body and a year together will be worth a point.

Well, it's a 193x Tatra methinks, but I haven't come up witht the model yet. Looks quite close to 52 Sport or 30/52, but not the same.

Argh..I need to be more attentive. I have read that it is a privately remastered car just now. Still, I think the base was Tatra. Is the venue Svabhegy, by the way?

Yes, there's a Tatra lurking underneath - that's the only correct part of your guess. And no, just now this car is not related to Hungary at all.

So it was a connection with Austro-Hungary? Czech driver?

Remember, this was after the times of Monarchy, so no Austro-Hungarian connection, though one of the countries you mentioned is indeed involved in the car...

It reminds me strongly of the cute Tatra T12 Targa Florio race car, but I do not know this version...

No, the basis wasn't a T12

Tatra 57 built by Ernst Krickl-Reinthal, 1934?

My first solved puzzle! Thank you neilshouse  :thumbsup:

The photo was taken at the 1934 Semmeringbergrennen (Semmering Hill Race). Mr Krickl was living in Vienna, Austria at that time.
