ALTRO Horch - 830 BL 1936

After World War 1, the new majority owner at Horch, Dr. Moritz Straus, ensured a successful future direction. The focus was on a single type of vehicle in the luxury class with the eight-cylinder engine developed by Paul Daimler. In the early 1930s, Horch realized that there was also growth potential below the luxury class. So a smaller V8 engine was developed and the Type 830 was created. Over time, the displacement grew from 3003 cc to 3,823 cc. 6,123 examples of the Horch 830 BL were built, and about 9,500 of all 830 variants. With its eight-cylinder engines, Horch was the market leader in this segment in Germany. Unfortunately, we don’t know much about our representative four-door Horch 830 BL Sedan Cabriolet. The car probably remained in the Czech Republic after the end of World War 2 and was fully restored at some point. Since 2012, the classic car has been documented in Germany. A large valuation report from 2022 with the grade 2-3 describes the vintage car in detail. It is registered in Germany.
