This MTX 1-01 (014) was produced by the company METALEX Praha at the production site in Plzen in the winter 1971-72. After a trial, the car was bought from Metalex by 206 ZO Svazarm Praha (Association for Cooperation with the Army). According to known data, the car was given to the organization member Ladislav Kalas.
Kalas took part in the entire championship of the former CSSR in the class of Formula Skoda from 1972 to 1977.
Ladislav Kalas achieved some success during this time, including a 4th place a, 18. 6. 1972 on the course of Havírov and a victory on 12. 11. 1972 on the mountain track of Zbe?no only in his the first season.
In addition numerous other results and victories.
Since Ladislav Kalas finished his activity in the Formula Skoda class after 1977, the organization 206 awarded the car several times to various drivers and then sold off the car. It is not possible to determine the precise date of the sale since Svazarm as a semi-military organization didn’t keep any records after the collapse in 1990.
Undoubtedly was Vaclav Kolman from Litvinov the last owner of MTX 1-01 (014), who still used it in competition in the CSSR.
The car was sold to the GDR and later to Munich after the collapse of the eastern bloc in 1990.
With regard to the condition of the car, a note from the year 1997 exists, according to which it was "repaired a few times during the time when raced and that some minor and unimportant changes have been made"
After precise control of the frame and suspensions, a complete nut and bolt restoration was done at MTX in Plzen, where the vehicle was manufactured, partly by mechanics who were already working there in the 1970s. The vehicle is now again in its original state, as it was made in 1971 / 72 by MTX.
This was confirmed by MTX, signed by the engineer of MTX 1-01, Vaclav Pauer.
After the car had appeared several times at trade fairs and events in the 1990s, it has been in a private collection for a long time until there was the opportunity for me to acquire this car.
