Description
The Škoda 1101 is a small family car that was produced by Czechoslovak automaker AZNP at their plants in Mladá Boleslav, Vrchlabí and Kvasiny. It was basically a modernized version of the Škoda Popular 1101, which was introduced in 1939. The main differences were a redesigned body (although still with wooden frame) and a new dashboard. Production of the Škoda 1101 began in 1946.
In 1949 the Škoda 1102 entered production. It was virtually identical with 1101 type, except for a new column-mounted shifter. The two models were produced simultaneously, with 1102 chassis preferably used for sedan bodies and 1101 for vans, station-wagons and ambulances. Production ceased in 1952, by when about 67, 000 vehicles had been made, of which some 50, 000 vehicles were exported.
The Škoda 1101/ 1102 is also known by the popular name Tudor, derived from its two-door sedan body, which was the first to come into production. This nickname was eventually commonly used for all 1101/ 1102, regardless of their body.
A military version of the Škoda 1101 was built, called the Škoda 1101 VO. It has the same chassis and mechanicals as the standard Škoda 1101, with new all-steel, open 4-door body. In 1948–51 4, 237 vehicles were produced, most of them for export.
The car is powered by a four-cylinder 1089 cc OHV water-cooled engine producing at maximum power 32 hp at 4, 200 rpm. The four-speed gear-box includes synchromesh on the top two ratios, power being delivered to the rear wheels via a jointed prop shaft.
Front suspension: Independent using transverse leaf springs.
Rear suspension: independent using transverse leaf springs with floating half-axles.
Top speed: 100 km/ h (62 mph).
Skoda 1102 Roadster Convertible, 1952.
This vehicle has been well preserved and is part of a collection by the same owner, only reason for the sale is that he unfortunately doesn’t have the time anymore to maintain all the cars and needs to sell some.
It is totally original and has only ever been resprayed, never been striped and refurbished.
The only bit of welding that it has had done can be seen in the photo, it is on the driver’s side rear floor area. It was due to someone in the past putting a jack under the floor and jacking up the car causing the jack to puncture a hole in the floor, not repaired due to rust.
Mechanically the car is very good and has always been maintained very well, it has been used most summers for attending car shows and leisurely drives. I was informed that it always starts without any issues, even in freezing conditions.
These cars are becoming very rare, they are hard to find nowadays and especially in this nice original condition.
