Skoda has been identified Type 968 cheers Twincharged!

There was also a Continental GT and a new Porsche which I didn't get to take pics of (you can see the Bentley in above pic)

As a bonus here are 2 Ducatis and another classic Audi in the showroom (not event)

The little Skoda was supposed to be a Le Mans racer, but sadly never was. Built in 1957, it has a steel tubular spaceframe chassis with inboard drum brakes for better weight distribution. It's light weight (550kg) meant that it had a power to weight ratio of 167bhp per tonne. Sadly it never went to Le Mans to compete, for reasons unknown. Perhaps money, or political instability at the time.

THANKS!! I thought the licence plate was merely for display stating the engine as people might not know - I googled the car's number, Skoda racecar, but not that :P keyword for Google was 1957 ^^
