Critics Review

This authoritative book will provide hours of entertainment and education to any automotive enthusiast, not just those who already know the appeal of the Tatras. - Classics Monthly. Many readers will probably not be familiar with the brand and that is why is it good that Veloce is launching this re-release, this time in paperback. - Autoliefhebbers.be. Hans Ledwinka’s Tatras were magnificently innovative yet he is still an unknown quantity. This book, first published in 1991, has been updated with in-depth history-telling and 326 images. - Classic Car Weekly. This is a fine book for those interested. - Auto Express. Its appeal across the board will suit Tatra fans, automotive historians and causal readers, alike. - tkc (Totalkitcar). This informative book covers the full history of the marque - Classic Driver.
