Beauty! What I found is this:
'In 1957 Skoda built two open topped sports cars with DOHC 1100cc engines which gave an output of 92BHP. The cars were only entered into one foreign race, the Leningrad Grand Prix, due to economic reasons but came away with first and third places overall. One of these cars is now the property of Skoda-Auto UK since they acquired it at an auction in the late 90's and the other resides in the Skoda museum in Mlada Boleslav. According to the restorers of the British owned version the engine was full of "clever stuff" and they spent half the rebuild time trying to discover how it worked! As the car is constructed of fibre glass wrapped around a tubular space-frame chassis it weighs in at only 550Kg, thus giving it a top speed of up to 150MPH and making it surely one of the fastest 1100cc cars ever built'

I seem to recall one of them ending up with Duncan Rabagliati in the UK?

That is pretty! I like the chiseled styiling to the front lights. Are teh tailights of a period road car eg Octavia?
