The Jawa 700 was a car produced by Jawa in Czechoslovakia during the 1930s.
František Janeček, the founder of the successful Czech motorcycle manufacturer Jawa, signed a license agreement with Jørgen Skafte Rasmussen of DKW on 20 July 1933 to produce the German company's cars in Czechoslovakia.[1] The first fruit of this agreement was the Jawa 700, based on the DKW F2 Meisterklasse, which was known internally as the 701.[2]
The 700 was a front-wheel drive vehicle with a two stroke engine. It differed from its DKW parent in having a 100NaN0 longer wheelbase and 200NaN0 wheels. Unusually, as cars in Czechoslovakia drove on the left at the time, the car was left hand drive.[2]
The 700 was launched at the 1934 Prague Motor Show.[1] Priced at 22,900 CSK in its four-seater guise, 1,002 vehicles were manufactured before production ceased in June 1937.[3]
The Jawa 700 could reach a top speed of between 85and and had a typical fuel consumption of between 8L/100km9L/100km.[1]
