In answer for your question from the forum (Pibwl), in the first 15 mins was only visible the Nysa 501 S. |

Then I've seen it. Weren't there any "Spartak" whose owner transported a victim to a hospital? (what is Spartak, by the way?). Quite good movie, by the way. Rate it at IMDB, so that it has 5 votes ![]() |

Spartak was a name that Škoda intended to use for the successor of the 1101/1102, but at the end they used 440, and later Octavia. |

I also read that the name "Spartak" was finally not officially used on the serial made Skodas 440/445, but on the other hand it is interesting, that it is so well known also abroad of Czechoslovakia(?). Maybe my source was wrong? @Pibwl. No, the car was only mentioned and we didn't see it. The plot was indeed quite good. I also have pics from this film, made them some time ago, but always had something different to add. ![]() |

But in official literature: http://www.motoliteratura.com.pl/spartak.html The very early prototype(s)/pre-serial car was called officialy Spartak. Edit: Didn't see your second post - good find so it confirm this. Anyway it is still funny how this name became popular worldwide. -- Last edit: 2009-10-31 18:16:31 |

I guess it's a bit similar to the Ford Taunus 12M, taht is (at least in Holland, but I guess alsewhere as well) often referred to as Ford Cardinal, the name that Ford USA used for their FWD small car prototype that eventually was produced in Germany... |
