[RayTheRat]

[grobmotorix]

Not this far east...

[D-type]

East of Germany but not as far as the USSR 

Czechoslovakia?

[grobmotorix]

Exactly...

[mekubb]

Skoda ?

[grobmotorix]

Yes.

Locked for you!

Give me the correct ccm of the engine and a reasonable year and the point will be yours.

[mekubb]

Can't find anything on this car, so I guess 1100 cc and from 1948

[grobmotorix]

Well it is almost the same data I have.

Skoda 1100 Special, 1948 is a double bit too early, so it is from the year...??

[mekubb]

Looking at the Skoda 1100 Sport from 1949 I reckoned this one should have been from an earlier date, but apparently it isn't. So shouldn't be later than 1952 ?

[grobmotorix]

Agreed.

I have this from a 1951 book without an exact date given there.

I think this should be your point now!

If anyone knows more, please inform us here - it would be worth an additional point.

In 1951 Vaclav Bobek raced in GDR a couple of times with a Skoda powered car, race number 66. The writing on the car (at least its very lower part) may well be 66 if you take a close look. If it will appear to be what I wrote here, that would make it a Czech car, probably even Skoda works car, since Vaclav Bobek was racing for them, if I recall correctly.

[grobmotorix]

Well, I only know that it has been raced at Hohenstein-Ernstthal and it was most probably a czech car with a czech driver, so you may be right.

If anyone finds a photo of the Bobek Skoda and it will prove right, this is your point.
