Andy - a15cro Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I worked in a small Skoda dealer during my apprenticeship back in the 80’s and although they got a lot of ridicule their rally pedigree certainly proved what they could do. We had an old coupe in the showroom which had been converted into a pick up, which I always said we should bet back on the road, but sadly never came to happen, I’m sure our Skoda rep bought it and it’s probably worth a bit of money now if it’s still in existence. The garage closed down in the late 80’s recession giving me 3 hours notice that I was out of a job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how this would stack up against the Lotus 11 of the day both 1100 cc Love it, but had the shock of my life when I Googled the orange racer; the photo above really gives little idea of scale, (It's so well in proportion, and I suppose we're used to seeing huge diameter wheels.) It's tiny when you see pictures with a driver sat on it! (Not sure many would be able to actually sit in it!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Westwood Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 It's a great looking car. I saw it at Caffeine and the Machine they had it on display the day they opened for the first time 27.10.2018. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
