Litomyšl hosts seventh memorial ride for Eliška and Čeněk Junková

The seventh memorial ride in honor of Eliška and Čeněk Junková took place in Litomyšl, Czech Republic. The event featured approximately 120 historical vehicles, including automobiles, motorcycles, and sidecars, all manufactured before 1948.

The participants, traveling from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, and Austria, completed a three-stage route covering roughly 130 kilometers through the Litomyšl, Orlicko-Ústí, and Chrudim regions. Notable highlights included the presence of ten Bugatti vehicles and the appearance of a 1929 Bentley with a 6.5-liter engine.

A significant attraction was the Praga Super Piccolo, described as the only surviving model of its kind in the Czech Republic. Originally one of only four produced for the 1934 1,000 Miles of Czechoslovakia race, this specific vehicle underwent a ten-year restoration process.
