Several Skodas over the years have carried the 1100 model number, usually denoting an estimate of the engine displacement in cc. This one, however, appears to be a Skoda Popular 1100, even though there isn't any "Popular" letting on the grille. I base this on the fact that it's a roadster, and the simple process of elimination. If someone can detail this further, please comment below.

If in fact this is a Skoda Popular 1100, these cars, as stated, came with the water-cooled 1089cc I-4, which for the basic 1100 model (and not the 1101) put out 30 horsepower. The layout was front/rear. This produced a top speed of 105km/h(65 m.p.h.), which was acceptable at the time. This version of the 1100 Popular was produced from 1938 until 1946, with production continuing even during World War II, albeit for the German occupiers and their allies.
