“A bunch of ordinary people who will find your dream car on fair terms…” This is one brief way to describe Veteráni na Truc, now a stable and growing player in the classic-car world.
Looking back reveals clear progress. When the company began in 2015, hardly anyone could have imagined the scale of development in its home village of Křenovice near Milevsko. Brothers Ondřej and Jiří Truc were then its entire heart and naturally remain the cornerstones of the business. Human capacity is limited, however, so experienced salesman Honza Lancinger later joined as a partner. The team providing further services also expanded considerably, covering administration, marketing, after-sales support, mechanics and the drivers who physically collect your dream car and bring it to Czechia.
The growth is visible in the picturesque South Bohemian village itself. Last year a large showroom accommodating dozens of cars was completed, and this year a large, modern service facility will be finished. There will also be a “man’s cave”, a place for customers to enjoy good coffee, sit down and discuss their shared passions, chiefly cars, in peace.
Ten years ago, nobody could have expected the milestone the “boys” reached at the end of the 2025 summer holidays: since opening, they have found homes for 2500 cars that now delight their new owners! An impressive figure, particularly considering that last year alone accounted for 300 cars, or 0.82 cars sold each day!
Their main asset is thorough market knowledge and contacts
Although the Truc brothers keep their own cars in the showroom, some turnover comes from consignment sales offered on very accommodating terms. As Ondřej Truc says, their main asset is thorough knowledge of the market and contacts, enabling them to bring you almost any car you desire: “Custom imports are now the main part of our business. We travel around Europe, carefully inspecting individual cars, their condition, documentation and other requirements. It makes practically no difference which car the customer chooses: we always try to find the best possible example, whether it is in Italy, the Netherlands or Sweden.”
What sells most? “We follow fluctuations and seasonal trends, but recently most of our imports have generally been cars worth, say, CZK 800 000 to around CZK 2 000 000,” explains Ondřej Truc. He adds: “Demand remains strong for classic and newer Porsche 911s. Classic Ferraris, which we focus on heavily, are increasingly attractive to customers too. Then there are American cars from the 1960s and sometimes 1970s, especially Corvette C3s, fastback Mustangs and various muscle cars from the golden era. Among European cars, people often choose British classics: Jaguars, Triumphs, MGs and others. Of course, classics from other German, Italian or French brands also pass through our hands, including various exotic curiosities.”
Veteráni na Truc celebrates ten years in the market, which is also why it is appearing at Speed Festival. This year it will present a Lamborghini Countach, Ferrari 512BB, Jaguar XK120 and other gems. Our whole team looks forward to meeting you during the September weekend in Česká Lípa, or anytime by arrangement in Křenovice.
