Previous model Aero 20

The Aero 30 was a Czechoslovak automobile that Aero built from 1934 to 1945.

The model was the first front-wheel drive aero. The two-cylinder two-stroke engine had a displacement of 998 cm³ and made 30 hp. With its three-speed transmission, the car reached a top speed of around 110 km / h. The fuel consumption was 9-11 l / 100 km.

From 1939 the Aero 30 had a modernized factory body based on Sodomka , which can be recognized primarily by the rounded radiator grille.

The Aero 30 was Aero's most successful pre-war model with 7425 vehicles built. 3285 of these were delivered as sedans, 2162 as sports cars and 837 as delivery vans.

Motorsport and long distance driving

For the market launch of the Aero 30, the motor journalist František Alexander Elstner set off with one of the first vehicles from Prague to Scotland in August 1934.

In 1934 and 1935, several vehicles started at the 1000 miles of Czechoslovakia . In 1935 an Aero 30 with a four-cylinder two-stroke engine and 1.6 liter displacement was used, which reached 150 km / h. The vehicle started in the class up to 2000 cm³.

In May and June 1935, Bohumil Turek took part in the Prague – Tbilisi – Prague route with a standard Aero 30.

A year later, Mila Polàk and Lida Ondrovà traveled through eleven countries in seven days. They covered an average of more than 1000 km a day.

Vladimir Formanek took 33rd place in the 1937 Monte Carlo Rally with an Aero 30 Spezial.
