@13:47 Electric Skoda Enyaq. I had a blast watching this. That weird sounding truck you asked about, i might be wrong, but it sounded like a 2 stroke. And the motorcycle looking cars, are Velorex, and the best thing about them is that you can take the "body" off, and wash it. :)

My flight to Greece was rerouted and I ended up in Prague for 3 days. I am very glad that that happened, as Prague is beautiful and I soaked up the history. The Czech people are really friendly and have a rich history in engineering.

8:47 It´s Velorex also made in Czechia. These were made fore handicapped peoples. Fun fact is that there is switch which can switch transmision and you can reverse use forward gears for reverse and you are able reach 80 Km/h on reverse, but I don´t know who would like to try it reverse 80km/h in this car =D.

It is filmed in city of Mladá Boleslav home of Škoda :) My mother was born there, and part of my family lives there to these days :)

What I love about these oldtimer meetings (our city also has one every year) is that they are the most European events I know. Classic car owners come from all corners of Europe to proudly present their vehicles. The mood is always cheerful and peaceful and one moment you're having a nice smalltalk with a Scotsman about the stylish whitewall tires of his 1958 MGA Roadster and the next you're behind the wheel of a pre-war Alfa Romeo racing car ((build 1923) driven across the Alps by an enthusiastic Italian. You don't even have to be a classic car fan to simply find this fantastic.

Hello, greetings from Czech Republic :-) Its cool see American, who loves our cars 🙂

The little green pickup truck is a Barkas Fromo, made in East Germany. It has a fun sound because the engine is a two-stroke originally from the Wartburg 900.

13:47 the "green modern car" is a fully electric Škoda Enyaq.

See the 10.3 liter single piston two-stroke diesel engine used in a pre-war and post-war German traktor Lanz Bulldog Supermarket Lidl , Aldi are in all EU countries . 13:45 the car is a Skoda Enyaq Coupé RS 𝗶V and in the middle of the front grille you can see that it has a radar for recognizing road signs, guarding the lane, etc

Small motorcycle car with "leather" bodywork (at 8:50 ) is called Velorex. It was sold to disabled people in 50s/60s. At the end modern car is Skoda Enyaq (yes, it is electric)

LIDL itself is German but very common here in Czech Repiblic, and the car you saw in the background is modern Škoda Enyaq, very first fully electric Škoda from the drawing board to reality. Love your vids and reactions to our car culture and I am always happy to see your excitement

The blue 1980's coupe is the late rear-engined Skoda Rapid, usually a 1.3 litre 4-stroke 4-cylinder with carburettor, nice little sports car. I used one of these as a daily drive until 2014.

3:25 That's old Škoda Felicia, actually the first and only Škoda that was ever imported to the USA.

13:42 the green car is a ŠKODA ENYAQ. I love your videos about czech republic, cause I'm from Czech Republic. Awesome❤️👍

I think the engine sound at 11:15 is likely a two stroke motor that had several brands use them in older Eastern Europe.

This dark blue coupe from the 80's is Skoda Rapid called "Czech Porsche"

Yoooo, my town! :D Edit: You were so genuinely excited I am offering you a tour around Mlada Boleslav. If it happens and you are in Prague you can come practically any time - it's merely 30 miles north of Prague. I mean it. :)

When I was in vacation in Czechia.., not once, but multiple times we saw people touring around in columns of oldtimers. Czechs really love to have some history on their roads. They were an enjoyable sight to see.

So cool to see these old cars! Skoda, Wartburg 311 (PoliceCar), Lada... These PickUp Trucks with the funny enginesounds are Framos, made in Saxony. They are powered by a 3 zylinder 2stroke with 28PS.

Not familiar with ANY of these vehicles but what a handsome bunch ! The '30's looking vehicles in particular look really good. It's underestimated how much Czech industry contributed to the WWII economy of you know who. They really were world leading heavy industry back then

I had a 1961 Skoda Octavia in burgundy, back in the 80s. :D Unfortunately I didn't use it for long. That pickup track at 11:16 that sounds so good with the two-stroke engine, I think a 3-cylinder Warthburg engine in it.

It´s Mlada Boleslav, I was born here. I am used to these car shows since my childhood, my father, uncle and grandfather were huge fans. I also work for Skoda now. :)

8:47 that's Velorex. :) Škoda Sentinel is also great to see with your own eyes (not in this video). A truck running on steam. Even older than most of these and seen only in museums these days.

That old pickup sounded like they've put a rotary in it lol

that little green truck with weird sound is Barkas Framo , german made truck with 2 stroke 3 cylinder water-cooled Wartburg engine :D and .. Greetings from Czech Republic man! ;)

My first car was 1970 Škoda 110L,1.1,47 hp,engine on a back….Great car!

17:50 that is Enyaq, first purpose build EV from Škoda

10:25 = Opel GT which was sold through Buick dealers in the US in the late 1960's and 70s among other Opel cars, like 1900, Kadett and Manta. The GT was pretty common in the US back then. A big share of the produced units actually went to the US market.

those old tractors are from 1939, they are from Svoboda model DK12

I like how you learned to pronounce Skoda correctly well done.

02:02 they call them van(furgon). For transporting goods that need to be protected from external elements. Bohemia had fantastic engineers and this continued during the USSR (as far as it was possible). When you are discovering the Eastern bloc, look at Yugoslavia.

At 8:50 - on "what are theese" - those are velorexes (singular velorex). It is actually a two-seater trike powered by engine from motorcycle, with canvas on iron bars shell. Was considered cheap alternative for a car, and it was mostly people with disabilities, or cripled, who operated those vehicles.

Im from czech republic , the iconic sound of old škoda is for simple reason - engine is in back - have very short exhaust system from engine is only pipes and one mufler -usualy four cylinder gasoline :D and sorry for my english

It’s a two stroke engine. Wartburg and Trabant brands used them a lot. Cheap to manufacture and relatively more powerful than a same size four stroke equivalent.

These are so unique that I meet one a year on the road. And I'm from the Czech Republic.

That thing you guessed of beeing a VW was probably a Tartra. The VW Beetle was basically copy of Tatra 97. Tatra sued VW over the Beetle, but Germany invaded Czechia and the case was thrown out.

11:12 this is a Barkas Framo. Two stroke three cylinder engine.

We had some of the early sixties and mid seventies Skoda cars in Australia. There were also a lot of 1950 model year Skodas on register in Australia, althogh I have never seen one in the flesh.

Skoda also made tanks. After the occupation during WW2, the Skoda tank factories were taken over and a great deal of the tanks were used by the German Army.

That Green Truck with a unique sound that you've noticed is a "Barkas V 901" It's a truck from Eastern Germany if I'm not mistaken. It has a wild engine configuration. It's a gasoline 0.9L (55Ci) two-stroke three cylinder of all engines... Sounds almost like a rotary :) There's a video on KZfaq somewhere that actually talk about THIS particular green one. It's in Czech though :) Thanks for the videos! There's SO much to learn about Škoda and Tatra,... Some of the most important manufacturers that people don't give enough credit to... Love from Czechia! :)

never wouldve guessed that youll be watching a video shot entirely in the town where I live :D (Its not THAT surprising, Skoda is being made right here ) The green car was Skoda Enyaq Coupe - quite possibly RS iV version

Tractors are from company Svoboda. On the end they ride to original place where they was build. Now its main Škoda service. Modern car on the end is Škoda Enyaq its completely electric car.

oh hey I live there. Hopefuly you'll get to visit one day, I'm sure you'd like the Skoda museum.

11:15 in that truck is two stroke engine and the brand is Barkas.

Tatra’s designer named Ledwinka sold one of the models to Ferdinand Porsche. Some parts are interchangeable between some models of VW and Tatra. I use to have a Beatle 1963 and I could replace wheel rims or headlights with Tatras build up to the mid 50’s. The suspension systems used by Tatra ( the front & rear torsion bars) were used as far as on Eurovan (T4) build from 1993-2004. And obviously the flat 4 cylinder air cooled. Tatra started V8 air cooled 2.5 L on T 805 truck and on car T 603. Diesel V8 started on T 138 & 148 and is still used on a new models. Before the V8s there was a strong V12 on previous models like T111.

@6:34 That last "tractor"' has a plate on the back "1948". Maybe that's the year it's build? @10:25 That "Look at that little thing" is an Opel GT. A front-engine, rear-drive two-seat sports car. Years in production 1968-1973. Cheers Ian, binging your vids..AGAIN! 😁😉.

11:25 it is two stroke engine i think, 11:35 the car is from a family movie " Ať žijí duchové!"

8:52 Velorex aka Runnig-tent

hey... so im czech and last year we had a HUGE ride of inported old american cars just showing off driving trough the town and i got to check it out... i only one thing to say about it... "M´URICA"... so big and loud for no reason its almost funny and i love it

Man I'm really suprised of your knowledge of old czech cars. Thumbs up ;-)

And another of my favourite videos. Lots of vehicles and different years. Thanks a lot. I would never have found this if it wasn't for your channel. It is a pity that the car industry never developed in our country. I envy you neighbours!

Did you play Mafia 1? The original one from 2002. You would see some of the vehicles there, because the designers were czech and used our historic cars. You cant get closer to driving them, they made a great job reproducing the veterans.

Those tiny pickup trucks called Barkas, have a 3 cyl. 2 stroke engine. Same goes for the green and white Wartbug policecar.

Look..Tatra,Škoda,Aero,Jawa,Letov,Praga,Avia,Zetor..and many..Respect to you from CZECH REPUBLIC😉

Hey IWrocker! Watching nearly every single video of you, I have to repeat: I love your passion concerning combustion vehicles and I love your open mind concerning other parts of the world. After having suggested some other european auto topics I think you should have a look at MORGAN. My dreamcar! It still (since 1936!) has a wooden chassis construction, no ABS, no servostearing, no break booster and rigid axle. 1000 Pounds and a nowadays a Ford R4. Beautiful! Greetings from Austria!

10:27 is a Opel gt. Easily my favorite of the video and has been sold in USA along with the Ascona and manta.

Hello from Czechia 👋

Btw that sound of green pickup is classic 2-4 cylinder 2 stroke engine. Those things are loud as hell, inefficiend as fuck, but they are powerfull because for the same RPM they have double the ignitions. Today 2 strokes are used only for bikes, mowers, chainsaws..., in higher RPM its producing the classic screeching sound of bikes.

Not knowing exactly for anything, but the little tractors seem to be of the Lanz-Bulldog Pattern, or that may just be the English name. Basically a single cylinder fuel-oil engine with direct drive, and a clutch that essentially engages or disengages the drive. To reverse means reversing the engine rotation... but these seem to be the 5-10 Hp versions, low power but torque out the wazoo. THE two-stroke motorbike in the 50's GP circuit was the CZ or Česká Zbrojovka, they pioneered the expansion chamber in the exhaust system.

Skoda Felicia convertibles, Wartburgs, Volga, other more random old and newer Skodas, a Fiat 850 coupe...

You pretty much nailed the 3-wheel tractor. It´s Svoboda DK5 and the started making them in 1934

Hi from Europe, IWrocker! To see your enthusiasm for things probably alien to you, is really inspiring! Thank you for this vid! ❤

That modern car is Škoda Enyaq. And is electric. First clear electrimobile from Škoda.

4.59 Skoda 110R. When I saw that behind the iron curtain in the mid 80's I realized communism couldn't kill all spirit. Funny thing though was that we were there with hydropneumatic Citroen, which often drew a crowd when started and rising up.

The green new car on the end you talked about Is škoda nad yes it's electic. And also the car with UMBRELLA Is a referenc to czech movie.

nice....iam from koprivnice, city of tatra 🤩...czech car and industry are one of the best in the world...tatra, skoda and more other...i like watching your videos...👍👍👍

You are right it is in Mladá Boleslav. Mladá Boleslav is home Town of Škoda Auto. And that metalic blue is really 80's car named Škoda Rapid 130. And almost all cars have gas engine and they really sounds like this.

This green pickup is East German Barkas Framo with 3cyl 2 stroke engine.

London to Brighton, classic commercial vehicle run 👌 SENTINEL Steam lorries run 👌

The tinny sounding green truck is a two stroke engine👍

The big vans at 10:56 are East German Garant 30K cars, the predecessor was the Phänomen Granit 1500 and the successor was the Robur. The cars were produced in Zittau, Germany, the old Lusatian-Serbian town of Žitava.

2:10 robur garant was used as a literally anything 03:00 Skoda 1202 03:12 skoda 1000 mb 03:25 Skoda felicia marked as a most beautiful car made by Czechoslovakia 03:57 Tatra 57 04:59 skoda 110r 05:03 Wartburg 311 05:29 skoda 120 06:57 skoda 135 and backround skoda octavia 1959 07:23 skoda tudor 08:07 skoda 100 mb and Skoda 1203 08:55 skoda superb OHV and theres a more skodas but IDK all of them actually

8:47 they call hadraplán (clothplan, plan like airoplan)

the green and black truck with wooden bed makes these "wierd" noises, because it is a two stroke. And the Police Car is from east germany (ddr) as germany as splittet by the wall.. :)

Yes Lidl is a supermarket chain from Germany. 1973 the year it all started, but now they are all over the place. Unique brands that rival the more known ones and most of them are even better tasting, or some of them lets just say that. Cheap well... or cheaper then in the rest of shops/markets/supermarkets/groceries, anyway. Like u dont really pay extra for the brand, just the product, cause its in house, or well those that produce stuff for Lidl, subsidiaries or whatnot. Anyway i like to shop there. Maybe i butchered some info but i think u get what i mean. Also about the cars i lived through the era of some newer models there and it was pretty common to see going on about, nowadays its a rarity only probably most of the time u can see it on these events. Also that dark blue one yeah, its a Skoda Rapid 7:00 (dont know what year, forgive me) but it was like a sportier version of this 10:43 that beige or brown or what color is that, and this red 5:00 is even earlier of this one 9:13 (5:29, like a evolutionary step to the one in 10:43) and all in between etc. many models with few differences and u can search for it if interested by adding Skoda 100, 110, 120, 130 etc, quite many models. Or try this one type in search ŠKODA 130 RS A5 :) ure welcome .

GREETINGS FROM CZECH REPUBLIK .. our cars were beautiful back then :)

Most of the cars there are Skoda man... it even take place in headquarter of Skoda in Mlada Boleslav city, most of the video is from main square and than in the end it was Skoda Enyaq... that was parking lot of Skoda servis centre :)

Great video and classic vehicles meetup! enjoyed it! Even for an Euro guy like me, the was tons of unknown vehicles most of them in the video were Skodas

That "little sporty car" the black one, was an Opel GT, and at least here in Norway they were called the "poor man's Corvette" :P

The three wheeled tractor is a Svoboda DK 12

8:49 Velorex - Hadrplán 13:48 yes it modern version škoda octavia or eniaq

the modern car at the end is Skoda Enyaq BEV.

Yes, they were Eastern cars, when the Berlin Wall came down some of them made it to Western Europe. When I was a car mechanic in the '90s a friend of mine bought a Barkas B_1000 van, men that thing was loud, high revving, and very very slow, here are some stats and specs of them if you are interested. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barkas_B_1000

12:33 those are reenactors in uniforms of pre WWII uniforms of Czechoslovak police (black one) and border guard. Also a gendamerie behind the one with camera.

the green-white police is Wartburg, from East Germany, it even has DDR code plate and say's Volkspolizei(People's police) ...the old timey Škoda were Felicia, Octavia... 1960s... the names would be reused from 1990s onwards. The "more modern" would be Škoda 742 series - 100, 105, 120,125 most commonly, 130 Rapid would be the sporty version - those are mid 70s all the way through 80s. The entire series is rear-engined, which is pretty uncommon for "regular" cars. Bakelite three-wheelers are the legendary Velorex cars. This event itself is in Mladá Boleslav, town where Škoda Auto factory is.

These small three wheel cars are cold Velorex - it's powered by the motorcycle engine, light frame covered by a leather "suit" instead of hood

Nice vid mate! The Modern looking green car was Škoda Enyaq IV, and the weird sounding truck is maybe 2 stroke i think

hello, as someone who was born in the Czech Republic, I am glad that you are interested in the Czech Republic as such. The videos you react to are a great taster, but the best will be if you come directly here to the Czech Republic and see it with your own eyes. if you ever wander into the Czech Republic (close to Brno), I'd love to meet you in person, and maybe I'll show you great places, whether in nature or in the city, there's enough of everything for how small our country is.

06:45 That is GAZ 21 "Volga " and I am that old that I was using that car in Tallinn ( Estonia) like taxi ! ( Year was something 1976 ! ).

The green white car is an East German Wartburg 311 of the Volkspolizei (GDR police)

8:48 they are velorex, my parants has 2 of those. Nice videos👍

The strange sound you hear are 2 stroke engines like the Wartburgs are

8:47 VELOREX. This "car" became famous by comedy moviecalled "Vrchní prchni".

Well Czechia, we drink more beer than anybody in the world, we were a factory land for germans during the history and even now. We had many grear inventors during soviet era, but our progress was stopped many times. We are also one of the most atheistic countries in terms of centralized religions, but we are spiritual on natural level. We also have history of killing our politicians and we defended against the crusades as well. If you mix Russian and German nature in small country, you basically get czech person. Btw look for Skoda 130 LR, 130 RS, Favorit rally and you well see some of those in action.

Some of these cars were rear engined, 2 stroke and air cooled. One of the Skodas you commented on was a Felicia, (Early 1960's). This name, and others, were resurrected by VW after they bought the company and you could still buy a Felicia up to around 2001.

The green police car is a two-stroke Wartburg from East Germany.

I dont know what this small green truck is, but I'm pretty sure it has a 2-stroke engine. And the police car is from the DDR Volkspolizei, from the former east Germany.

Thats actually from Mlada Boleslav the home of Skoda. This was in front of the town hall and and in the Old town square. I was there it was awesome!

The sound of some of the cars may sound wired because they are 2 strokes. Used a lot these times in eastern europe.
