One for Mr Z, Which film

[Lorry]

Is it another Maybach, out of a diesel Locomotive.  MD655?

[Steve Pyro]

Got to be a Tiger then.

They also previously made engines for Zeppelin airships.

[LangTall]

Then prolly even a Tiger II aka Königstiger, which would make it a 12 cilinder Maybach gasengine with 552 KW/751 bhp, where the Tiger I had 522 KW/710 BHP.

[Lorry]

So it could be worth money as there are only a couple of Tigers running, and I'm not sure if any King Tigers survived.  They may be the most feared tanks by the allies, but I'm sure the vast numbers of T34s had much the same effect.

So it seems my trains run on a turbo tiger motor

[nopanic - neil]

So back to that small black car, which is not german.

What is this one

[Leftie]

Looks like a Merc derivitive, but Jap by the look.
Then again, Japs drive our side of the road.

Is it a Tata (Indian)? design based on the Merc, Merc designed their pick-up truck.

Not Indian, but strange one, as you have all heard of them and may even have some of there products. But not their cars.  

Oh so strange

Renault - Samsung SM7

Renault - Samsung SM7

thank christ for that, does this mean it is part car, part flat screen TV

Ok no more TV's, fridges, cameras etc (until the next time)

So what can you tell me about this one.

No guess so far, was told this is the only manufacture in the world who does this,  just need pick a letter and count   

[Steve Pyro]

That's an air cooled V8 and I'm trying to riddle my brain to remember who built it.

Tatra?

[Steve Pyro]

Yup, Tatra rear mounted air cooled V8 (around in the 50's / 60's) from a Tatra T600 / T603.

Correct - was told that Tatra are the only manufactures of air cooled V8's

But even better, found out this little bit of news.

The Tatra car manufacturer in Kopřivnice is planning to renew production of some of its legendary models. The boss and co-owner of Tatra, American Ronald Adams, would like to produce a limited edition of Tatra 603 and the legendary Tatraplán T600. The replicas will look just like the originals, but the engine and the chassis will be entirely new. The first old-new models should leave the factory in about two years’ time.

Need to win the lottery to be able to buy one now.

[Steve Pyro]

Shame they're not going to build them with the original engine design - probably an emmisions thing!

The engine looks good hanging out the back of a Beetle (not sure about the colour though).

Wings are good.

Have you checked on the beetle engine history and they knicked ideas from Tatra?
