from my other subject what do we have here then ?
-
Someone who's bored? ;D
-
i just hope there will be some incisive answers to stimulate us
-
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.
-
Number 11 is the Frada, at the left rear is the Minicar 300.
-
Far right at the front is the Dálník, To the right at the rear is the Ilore,

This could even be a link to the show catalogue.

-

The Czechs proving they were/are great engineers. What could have been if the Iron Curtain fell differently.
-
it's all there pretty much by 1948 isn't it . I just love the name the name of number 10 - Mirda !
-
Number 3 "MInicar" So who was the first to use that name?
-
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
-
Is 'Minicar' a Czech word? Seems unlikely. Its Czech language counterpart might have been appropriate, but would it have encouraged International interest?
-
I , for one , would love to have an English translation of that guide . Actually not hard to work out is it Brakes on most appear to be mecaniky ;D

I think the earliest formal use is for the Lamar "Minicar". Here's a picture from the Dundee Courier from May 1947.
-
I should add that thought the caption to this photo refers to it as a minicar, adverts from the same period refer to the "Larmar Single-str. 2½h.p."MINICAR"."

Great catalogue and several there I have not seen before.
