About Tatra Register UK

So, who are you? ...and what can we offer you?

Tatra Owner? Well, we're still the world's only single marque Tatra support group for English-speaking enthusiasts, with over a quarter of our members living outside the UK. Unlike followers of the mainstream marques, Tatra owners don't have access to salaried officers and formal services, and that's not what we aim or claim to provide. We're a 'mutual self-help' group, run by a tiny committee of active members who pay the same subscription as everyone else. We maintain close contact with other clubs and individuals around the world, and if we can't help with a particular query we invariably know someone who can. We don't hold a parts inventory, but we know where to find what you'll need. When it comes to membership benefits, you tend to get out what you put in ...come up with an imaginative initiative and you're quite likely to be asked to help make it happen! Contact Info

Enthusiastic non-owner? You're just as welcome, because we're not just an owners' club. Many of our members don't own vehicles, although a good many have taken the plunge since joining us. Our eclectic members' other interests include literature and models, and a tendency to enjoy other innovative automotive marques, modernist architecture and design, travel, and central & eastern European culture and history.

Just discovered Tatra, and want to find out more? Have a look through this site's descriptions of almost half of our members' vehicles, and then read our T603 and T613 web pages for an overview of the most ubiquitous post-WW2 models. Try some of the sites on our Links page to broaden the picture. You may not have been aware that such extraordinary designs had ever seen the light of day, let alone been produced for over a century by the world's third oldest car manufacturer. If you want to know more, you really should join us!

In the media? ...need vehicles for use in TV, Film or advertising? Whether you know what you're looking for or need advice on historical context, we can save you compromising with the wrong props. We also know which vehicles are going to be roadworthy and available when you need them, and which owners are prepared to help. Contact Info

Our activities: The highlight of our events calendar is our UK rally weekend, but we assemble at many other events, some organised by other clubs and organisations with which we share synergy, and to which we are specially invited. We maintain close contact with other Tatra clubs, particularly those in the Netherlands, Germany and Austria, and with informal networks in France and the US.

And we do have some informal meet-ups, but probably the main contact that members have with the club is via Czechpoint, our enewsletter which offers opportunity for members' advertising and events news. Non-commercial advertising is free to members, and the advertising of Tatra vehicles and parts is free to all. We also have a Facebook page.

Club History: Our club was formally launched at the July 1993 Uxbridge Auto Show, after an informal social gathering of Tatra enthusiasts at the Royal Automobile Club, in London's Pall Mall, had prompted compilation of a non-subscription contact list. The Tatras were well received by owners of other marques at that first regional event and, from an initial fourteen members, the club grew steadily to its present count of around a hundred. Despite being UK based, we have members all over the world - as far away as Australia and the USA and throughout Europe. We are more of an 'English speaking' club than UK-focused, and welcome owners and non-owning enthusiasts alike.
