The SKOT is based on the Tatra 813 chassis - engine, trans (to my
knowledge), axles, running gear in general is the same thing. I tooled
around a bit in a T813, and they're pigs to drive, but lots of fun just the
same. Expect 1 - 4 mpg on them. I'd expect, personally, that you can get a
SKOT cheaper than 15K Euro...back when I lived in the CR I had two Tatra
805's, and kept getting T813's offered to me at scrap prices. One major
problem is parts availability.....
