Australian Trekkas

1968 saw the first major export drive as the first of around 46 Trekkas were shipped to Australia.

Despite Government-level negotiations securing duty-free entry for the Trekka a lack of expertise in marketing and managing a distant market turned it into a flop.

A surprising number have survived, several with ACT enthusiast Chris Mack, while in Western Australia engineer and Skoda restorer Ray Petty has located 6, and is restoring one.
