Czech Car Mascot/Badge

<< < (2/3) > >>

Sklounion:
Hi Max,
A pleasure.
The cars are quite likely to be based on cars that had been in production by Skoda. Yes, I know they became a joke,(unwarranted, due to their regular good performances in rallying, throughout the Communist period)and Chuggy lives not that far from a certain Colchester dealership, where they had to wheel-clamp them on the fore-court.
Yet, car-production was a major Czech strength, pre-war, and Hispano-Suizas were made in Czechoslovakia.(As expensive as Bugattis in their day). The car collection in the National Technical Museum in Prague, holds some major surprises for car-lovers.
Regards,
Marcus

Max:
I'll have a look at old Skodas on Google later Marcus...you never know where you might find a lead.  :wink: (a jump lead? lol)

Failing that, I'll drop mascotmania.com (think that's the name) and see if they can help.   :)

mjr:
Intriguing-   See the attached skoda which is not the exact same car - but it has the same radiator grill, and the one on the badge seems to be a racing version of it

Max:
Well, it's certainly a very similar grill.  Thanks Martin, that should hopefully narrow down my search significantly.  :D  :D
