Suceava 1908

Aceasta poza, datand din 1908, a fost suprinsa in zona Sucevei si arata o familie instarita cu un Laurin & Klement Type A Voiturette din 1906. Am mai scris despre primele masini din Romania. In acel caz - referitor la o poza din 1905 - se putea specula despre proprietar, din cauza unei interesante liste cu numele si adresele proprietarilor, si numerele lor de inmatriculare. Singura adresa din nordul tarii este un anume baron Kapri din Roman, care detinea masinul cu numarul 130. De fapt, conacul era la Granicesti, jud, Suceava, deci e posibil sa fie a lui. Totusi, nu se poate trage o concluzie definitiva - foarte posibil, nu ar fi fost singur proprietar de masina cu proprietati in judet. Oricum, o poza interesanta care ne arata ca Skoda are istorie in Romania de aproape 110 ani!

This 1908 photo, from the Suceava region, shows a well off family with a Laurin & Klement Type A Voiturette, of 1906 vintage. I have written before about Romania's earliest cars. In that case -about an unidnetified 1905 vehicle - I could speculate about the identity of the owner from an interesting list showing the names and addresses of car owners, as well as their vehicles' plates. The only address from northern Romania was a certain baron Kapri from Roman. Actually, his country house was in Suceava county, in Granicesi. Quite possibly this was his - although, given that he may well not have been the only vehicle owner with land in the county, it's difficult to be sure. Anyway an interesting photo which shows that Skoda's presence in Romania spans over 110 years!
