1973 TATRA 603

US$45,554.30

This rear-engine luxury car was produced by Czechoslovakian company Tatra between 1956 and 1975. During this time, three versions of the model were manufactured successively.
Built in communist Czechoslovakia at the time only high-ranking party officials or factory bosses could own the 603. The 603 was also exported to other countries that were allied to Czechoslovakia, including Cuba and China and it is known that the Cuban leader Fidel Castro owned a white 603. This makes this vehicle a very rare find here in Australia.
This luxury four door sedan looks like it just rolled out of the factory, presented in Gloss black with a red velvet cloth interior, it showcases an immaculate cabin area with white wall tyres and a polished chrome bumper.
This vehicle has an air-cooled 2.5 Litre V8 overhead valve hemi engine, these particular engines had been previously used in Tatra race cars and military trucks to great success. The factory fitted 4-speed synchronised manual transmission was available with an option to order 'mountain' gearing in place of the standard ratios, making it unique.

The total number of 603's built is uncertain, as older cars were brought back to the factory, modernised, upgraded and then returned to service as new cars. This Tatra 603 SII- presents immaculately overall and would be sure to make a sound investment for any collector, adding a unique item to their collection.
