That was quick!
I guess it's appeared on some French websites?

I don't know about that nomenclature though; although I have seen it referred to as an 1100 it's just generally called a Skoda Sport Le Mans, and it dates from slightly earlier than 1950 (1949, although I've even seen 1948 mentioned).
Still, we won't split hairs; 1 point is yours!

OK, but pretty sure it was built before then..
I'll settle for 1949, which is what most sites say.

Two cars were produced.
One in 1949 for GP in Brno, the second in 1950 for LeMans.
