Built by Josef Tuma, Praha XI - Žižkov, Podebradova 103.
Production is thought to have begun in 1932 of left- and right-hand sidecars based on other popular designs.
Josef died in 1939. Production resumed after the Second World War with his wife running the factory. During that period the firm produced sidecars under the Tůma brand which were fitted mainly to Jawa 250/350 Pérák motorcycles.
Then the business was nationalised and Motex took over. The last of the Favorit sidecars were produced in 1956.

N.B. There was a German firm of the same name which produced sidecars in the 1930s: Favorit DE
