1983 613-2 or mid 80's 613-3 I think. |

I'd say 1986 T613-3. Same-black, "Shadow Line" friend's beauty rests in my garage. She's tired but alive. http://www.youngtimer.pl/board/viewtopic.php?id=4828 And I'm sure T613 freak. Extraordinary and outstanding car. The engine is a masterpiece of engineering. Genious mix of Porsche 911, Alfa Romeo and small-block blends. Scraping even rusty damaged T613 is huge stupidy. Tatra made about 11,000 T613 only (1975-1995, earlier were only pre-production cars). Circa 2500 exists today. -- Last edit: 2009-12-15 13:31:03 |

2500 of 11.000 made cars are still existing? This is an extreme average, similar to Porsche, Rolls Royce, Land Rover and Unimog. Compare it with real mass-products. For example the Renault 6. Weren't more than 2 million of it produced (in Europe)? As I've read, around 200.000 R6 were exported to Germany. Ca.4-5 years ago there was a story about it in a classic-car-magazine. 3, maximum 5 or 6 Renault 6 were still running over here. Or if I see "my" car, the VW K 70. From 211 000 made cars, less than 400 are still existing - worldwide. |

Well, I know +/-75 % all Rolls-Royces (since 1904) and Land Rovers (since 1948) still exists. 23 % survivors it's poor score for 70s limousine. True. :P Rust and people lack of care done. American Crosley is one of the best example. In 1954 less than half Crosleys (1939-1952) exists! Most (circa 90 %) were post-war! I'm surprised! :O Only four hundred? Well, it should be NSU-1700, because Volkswagen treated K70 like "whoreson". -- Last edit: 2009-12-15 02:27:41 |

It's really very much! From all-day "bread-and-butter-cars", as we say in Germany, after 25-30 years, the percentual average of suvivors is around 0,5 to 1%. Really. This goes for small and medium cars, especially for kombi-/estate-versions, but not for sports cars, cabriolets and some premium cars. |

This is correct. So we K 70-freaks usually hold a distance to VW. We are more often to see on NSU-meetings than on VW-meetings. We aren't keen on closer contacts to Volkswagen, the AutoStadt, ZeitHaus or the Museum. Since we'd picked up all the left-over NOS-K 70-parts in 2001, they can kiss our ... This was the only interesting stuff, they had for us. |
