Hi Everyone

Here is a pair that I had added today to my collection, both are from IXO. Tatra 603/1 1970 & Lada 1200 police.

Cool cars vadim!

I've never seen either one before, or have heard of IXO.
That Tatra 603/1 is pretty interesting and must be a bit longer than most vehicles due to the extra window behind the rear doors. I bet the real 1:1 version is quite expensive!

THANKS for sharing!:thumbsup:

I have never heard of these two cars myself.

I have never heard of IXO either.

Very interesting and different. Thanks for sharing.

That Tatra is a very interesting looking car. Thanks for sharing. :thumbsup:

Here's something unusual:

One of the most amazing things about Tatra 603s is that they are powered by rear-engined, air-cooled V8s! I think that it is an intriguing configuration, similar to Preston Tucker's design for the 1948 Tucker Torpedo (which was originally a rear-engined, air-cooled, flat six.)

From what I've read, Tatras work very well, once you get used to the unusual weight distribution. I would love to drive a 1:1 Tatra someday to find out for myself.

Thanks for posting the pictures, Vadim; I have that Ixo Tatra, also.

Movie Trivia: It's a Tatra that takes the kids to their new home near the beginning of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. No doubt that it is the perfect car for the role.

Wow...some great cars, I still remember old Ladas driving around here quite a lot. Can you give some more information about IXO models, are they similar quality like Minichamps for example, how well detailed are the interiors and chassis? Thanks!

Try saying Tatra & Lada 10 times real fast :p Bet ya can't get past 5 times :rolleyes:

That Tatra is a sharp looking machine!
