  News & newsletters

With membership spread throughout the world, the main contact many members have with their club is through our magazine and newsletters. Fanmail is now published three times a year and covers past and future club events, news on Tatra-related topics, a Market Place for cars and parts, road tests and helpful information for the Tatra novice and expert alike. Back issues of the magazine are available for £2.50 for UK members and £5 for non-members (plus postage and packing). A new initiative for 2007 is Czechpoint, a newsletter mailed out between magazines, bringing annual mailings to six and offering more regular events and news updates, along with more frequent advertising opportunities.

Next Fanmail (Number 43) out soon!

We welcome articles and advertisements for Tatra-related items and services, so if you would like to submit material for publication, email: info@tatra-register.co.uk

Remanufactured T603 windscreens: We have received some enquiries regarding our initiative to have 603 screens remanufactured to current standards. Progress has been stalled for some months, but the plan has not been abandoned.

Most people with some familiarity with the 603 know that the screens became taller with the T2 series, but less well known is that a third, more uniformly curved screen was introduced with the 'T3' (a designation never officially used, for type-approval reasons). We have made progress negotiating the production of heated, laminated screens, but commitment from owners has been slow to develop and, with three variants, it is not practical for us to place a speculative order. Without some support we can't progress this, so, if the idea of a new electrically heated screen appeals, let us know! Email info@tatra-register.co.uk to register your interest, or call our press officer on 07762 543455.

Koprivnice mishap - In the winter of 2004, Tatra's former museum's roof fell in due to heavy snow. The building had been being used as an overflow store since the fine new museum had been open next door, and a number of exhibits were damaged. Tatra had not insured the stock due to high policy premiums.

The whole building collapsed inwards

A number of the exhibits had been removed before this shot, including a T700 and a T603 which was being restored. The trucks seemed to have suffered the most damage.
