The Trekka emerged as the ultimate response to policies pursued by successive New Zealand Government’s aimed at boosting the homegrown content of the local motor industry.
The Trekka is the only motor vehicle to be both designed, and mass-produced in New Zealand. 2,500 were built between 1966 and 1973. The locally built bodywork and interior was bolted to Skoda mechanicals imported in kit form from Czechoslovakia.
