It's probably not, but that car second from right looks just like the Fargier that was on the BiSbi rally and is on pg 14 of the latest newsletter.

The Czechs proving they were/are great engineers. What could have been if the Iron Curtain fell differently.

In the Prague photo, the one in the background on the podium and the one far right look very Bruetch like. As we have observed before , that period was a bubbling cauldron of design ideas.

Much discussed in the past , I wonder if Autocar took it from Prague , the Bond or whether the word Minicar was already in use ? What date in 1948 was Prague ? I have production of Laurie Bonds Minicar as  January 1949 , but they were being shown a bit earlier from about May 1948 I believe but the very earliest mentions were of a Bond Shopping Car

Interesting to note that all constructors of these cars appear to be Czech , I initially had thought of them being international
