Who knows this car?
>>> Expert AutoPuzzles >>>
Tatra?
No, but geographically you´ve hit the right country!
Is that a sketch for the rear-engined Skoda 932 prototype ?
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?
Much more obscure guys, sorry...
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?
Myron?
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!
Tomas Bat'a?
Bata, the shoe king, yes!
Now this is your point!
Too bad it wasn't built in significant numbers. It would have been an interesting match with the Beetle.
Agreed...
I have only found one very tiny other photo of this car in the internet.
Does anybody have one to show here?
How did you come to connect with Tomas Bata? ZLÍN? 9.9999 ČK?
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!
Which seems to be a different front-engined car (seen formerly here: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=7823).
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?
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?
yes, it did
More details next week
That´s a real discovery!
:thumbsup:
Did Bata give it all up because he decided it was safer to walk (in Bata shoes, of course!)? ;D ;D
Here's the full article from Motor Kritik
Interesting technical details - a mixture of Tatra and KDF-Wagen (later Volkswagen).
Thank you for sharing!
