Whenever I'm in Prague I try to ride the Tatra taxis, but they are getting rarer and rarer these days. Most have, alas, been replaced by more modern cars. Thanks for the pic, it brings back good memories!

That is great information. I have only been to Prague once, and this was the only Tatra that I saw! I can't wait to go back and one of these taxis will definitely be on my itinerary. Sounds like I better make it soon! Thanks for looking and for the info.

The interesting point is to see that the car is fitted with LPG. The LPG system requires to have a water cooled engine...and the Tatra has an air cooled engine...a lot of work for sure...

In CZ, i've seen a number of Tatras, both 613 and 603, running on LPG. It can be done, but every expert I talked to said it was a bad idea..... These aircooled engines run very hot as it is, and LPG is even hotter than petrol. Thermically it's taxing them beyond the limit and however indestructible they are, in the long run, it will kill them.

I've always wanted one of these... 3.5 litre aircooled V8 over the back axle is always entertaining, but in a car like this it's truely phenominal!
