Comments from the seller
Rare opportunity to pick up a beautiful Tatraplan 600. Auction prices have recently been pushing up past USD$90k overseas so this is a great opportunity for someone who knows about the marque.
This particular car was formerly part of the Gosford Classic Car Museum in New South Wales, Australia—a renowned collection that showcased hundreds of pristine vehicles with the current owner buying the car when the museum’s collection was liquidated in April 2019.
Under current ownership, the car has undergone thorough mechanical refurbishment ensuring reliable road-readiness. Recent work includes:
- Fuel System Overhaul: Comprehensive cleaning and servicing of the fuel tank, lines, and pump.
- Carburettor Rebuild: Fully rebuilt and tuned carburettor, optimized for smooth - performance and easy starting.
- Valve Train Service: Inspection and adjustment and replacement (where appropriate) of the pushrod valve train ensuring smooth engine operation and proper compression.
- Electrical Refresh: Complete check and refresh of electrical systems including wiring, generator, coil, battery, and ignition components.
The car starts easily, idles smoothly, and drives confidently. All major systems—engine, transmission, brakes, and electrical—are in excellent working order, making it fully suitable for regular driving as well as display purposes.
The car presents beautifully, with paintwork in exceptional, unmarked condition. All chrome and brightwork similarly reflect careful preservation and remain in excellent condition.
Inside, the cabin features red cloth upholstery presenting virtually as-new, complemented by a well-preserved painted dashboard, clear gauges and all original switchgear.
The overall fit and finish of both interior and exterior details are of a high standard. This 1950 Tatra 600 Tatraplan offers a balanced combination of historical significance and carefully maintained mechanical condition. It represents an ideal addition to a serious collection or museum, yet remains equally ready to be enjoyed on the road by its next owner. Happy to discuss more and send detailed pics to genuine buyers. Welcome to inspect and also happy to assist with shipping.
