Jawa 750 Roadster 1935 by Autocult
The
Roadster Version
The basis of the Jawa 750 coupe version and the roadster version was the very
same chassis in 1935. Also the construction of a special type of sportscar for
the participation in the event of 1000 Miles of Czechoslovakia in 1935 based on
the very same chassis.
Within
two years, this event had grown into a prestigious endurance race, and Jawa
participated with two cars as early as 1934. Because in 1935 they wanted to be
even more committed to long-distance driving, Ing. Zbrojovka was entrusted with
the task of designing a corresponding car. He had six vehicles made, all of
which were technically similar, as they had a 745cc two-stroke engine that
produced 26 hp, which was placed above the front axle. With a wheelbase of 2.3
meters, the care was very agile and therefore also very sporty to drive,
especially since the two alternating drivers also sat quite low and the open
racing car weighed only 700 kg – five kilograms less than the coupe version. On
June 15, 1935, the second 1000-mile journey began and led via Brno to
Bratislava. The distance to be driven was exactly 1540.4 kilometers.
Not
only was the overall victory in the 750cc class under the due Kaiser/Kronberger
achieved, but the Prize of the President of the Republic also went to the Jawa
Team. The joy may have been exuberant at first, but it was very quickly
clouded. With the fatal accident of the Walter driver Kůrka, Jawa decided not
to derive any advertising value from its success, so there was no advertising
of the successful performance of the Jawa drivers in the press.
