Volkswagen-owned Škoda leveraged old-school manufacturing techniques, cutting-edge technology, and a stash of original parts to rebuild one of the two 1100 OHC Coupe race cars that it made decades ago. The restoration process required well over five years of work.
Both 1100 OHC Coupes raced between 1960 and 1962, and Škoda notes that their career was cut short by regulations that made them ineligible for competition. They were sold to private buyers in 1966 and later modified and wrecked; one notably caught fire. Luckily, these cars were in the hands of folks who knew what they had, and many of the salvageable parts were safely tucked away for decades.
That's where the project should have ended: The initial goal was to reconstruct the frame, clean up the drivetrain, assemble everything, and display the chassis in the Škoda museum. Then, someone decided that the 1100 OHC Coupe deserved better; it deserved to race again.
Hello , i thinks 7,700 rpm is correct 😅
