1950 Tatra T87 for Sale in Germany
Hans Ledwinka and Erich Übelacker drew the T87 before aerodynamics were a normal part of car design: rear-engined, air-cooled, and shaped as a full teardrop after the streamlining principles of the zeppelin designer Paul Jaray.
The dorsal fin is a stabiliser, not decoration, holding the long tail straight in a crosswind. Behind the rear axle sits an all-magnesium overhead-cam V8, fed by large rear scoops. Three headlights look forward from an engineless bonnet, the central one predating the Tucker 48 by more than a decade. Inset door handles, skirted rear wheels and flush fenders give a measured drag coefficient of about 0.36, extraordinary for 1936.
Inside there is bench seating for six, Bauhaus in feel, with a central speedometer. The backbone chassis runs the length of the car, with independent suspension at all four corners and hydraulic brakes. Tatra built 3,056 between 1936 and 1950.

FAQ
This Tatra T87 in the European market
Can this Tatra be bought in Germany and registered elsewhere in Europe?
The car is located in Munich, Germany. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.
Who is selling this Tatra T87, and how does a purchase work?
Schaltkulisse GmbH, a professional dealer in Munich, Germany. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.
Can this Tatra T87 be inspected before purchase?
The car is at Munich, Germany, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history: LUSSO does not publish these and cannot confirm them.
Is this Tatra T87 still available?
LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with Schaltkulisse GmbH before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.
What is needed to register this car if it does not stay in Germany?
A cross-border registration normally requires the vehicle registration document, the certificate of conformity or an equivalent type-approval record, the purchase invoice showing the VAT treatment, and proof that any tax due in the destination country has been settled. Temporary export plates and transport insurance are arranged either by the dealer or by the buyer. Requirements differ by country and should be confirmed with the selling dealer before payment.
