Tatra?

grobmotorix · June 10, 2014, 12:04:11 PM

No, but geographically you´ve hit the right country!

Is that a sketch for the rear-engined Skoda 932 prototype ?

grobmotorix · June 10, 2014, 01:51:34 PM

This make is by far more obscure than Skoda.

To name some facts:

40HP

2cyl.

Two-stroke engine

1000ccm

Central tube chassis

Jawa??

This includes Jawa...

Wikow?

grobmotorix · June 10, 2014, 02:59:33 PM

Much more obscure guys, sorry...

grobmotorix · June 10, 2014, 03:07:00 PM

To fire this up a bit, here´s a photoshoped magazine clip from 1935 for you /
as far as I know there was at least one prototype:

Walter?

Majeko · June 10, 2014, 03:15:52 PM

Myron?

grobmotorix · June 10, 2014, 03:19:44 PM

LOCKED for Majeko!

I´m deeply impressed...
Can you tell me name behind this project, I mean the person/company who has sponsored it?

Then this will be your point!

Majeko · June 11, 2014, 09:06:51 AM

Tomas Bat'a?

grobmotorix · June 11, 2014, 02:05:54 PM

Bata, the shoe king, yes!

Now this is your point!

Majeko · June 11, 2014, 04:20:38 PM

Too bad it wasn't built in significant numbers. It would have been an interesting match with the Beetle.

grobmotorix · June 11, 2014, 04:24:04 PM

Agreed...

I have only found one very tiny other photo of this car in the internet.

Does anybody have one to show here?

milos62 · June 12, 2014, 07:08:21 AM

How did you come to connect with Tomas Bata? ZLÍN? 9.9999 ČK?

grobmotorix · June 12, 2014, 12:03:20 PM

Because the german text tells us that the shoe king Bata has financed the whole Myron project.

And the headline means: "Bata builds the cheapest car in the world".

An online source says, that it has been built at the Flugzeugmotorenfabrik (Aero-Engines works) Myron, Zlin between 1934 and 1935 in small numbers.

Just a drawing based on that tiny pic!

Wendax · June 12, 2014, 03:32:00 PM

Which seems to be a different front-engined car (seen formerly here: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=7823).

grobmotorix · June 12, 2014, 03:47:41 PM

Right - I´d really like to know more about the rear engined car - if there ever was one...

Do you have a tiny pic of the puzzle car, then?

grobmotorix · June 12, 2014, 03:58:44 PM

No - it was so small I did not realize it was a front engined car -it is just the same that you have posted in big scale.

This is why I´ve asked now.

Did this rear engined Myron model really exist?
