The 1950 Tatra T87 was among the fastest and most advanced cars of its day, featuring a unique aerodynamic design and powered by a rear-mounted, SOHC, air-cooled 3.0 liter V8 mated to a 4-speed manual transmission.

This particular example is a final-year T87 that reportedly remained in Czechoslovakia before coming to the US in 2000.

The seller acquired the car two years ago and has enjoyed cruising it around LA.

Service work to bring it to its current driving condition has included a brake rebuild, new oil cooler, valve adjustment, transmission linkage adjustment, and replaced transmission gaiters all performed by Theos Exotic in Costa Mesa, California with receipts included.
