 Despite a provision issued by the Comecon limiting production of luxurious cars in Czechoslovakia to no more than 300 per year, Tatra was manufacturing more units than the limit.This became an issue in 1957 and 1958, especially considering East Germany was producing the Sachsenring P240 as its own luxurious car.The Comecon decided that the two countries must reach a deal to decide which country would continue production to supply the other with luxurious passenger vehicles.
