A 1961 Mk 1 Triumph sedan

Triumph were good, for their time, when they were in private hands

lol
Let's leave that one just before the T intersection, Doc

ps, I note that the peasants were all driving these around the worker paradise in 1938, while your Industrial Revolution slave economy was still crank-starting your Austin A7's.

A serious WTF kinda car
The Tatra 87 (T87) was a car built by Czechoslovak manufacturer Tatra. It was powered by a rear-mounted 2.9-litre air-cooled 90-degree overhead cam V8 engine that produced 85 horsepower and could drive the car at nearly 100 mph (160 km/h). It is ranked among the fastest production cars of its time.
Competing cars in this class, however, used engines with almost twice the displacement, and with fuel consumption of 20 liters per 100 km (11.8 mpg). Thanks to its aerodynamic shape, the Tatra 87 had a consumption of just 12.5 litres per 100 km (18.8 mpg).

After the war between 1950 and 1953, T87s were fitted with more-modern 2.5-litre V8 T603 engines.[5]
The 87 was used by Hanzelka and Zikmund for their travel through Africa and Latin America from 1947 to 1950.[6]
