Indeed! Already had a few comments at the small number of meets I've been to with it - not many people heard of them before in the UK! As far as I can work out it's been on the road continuously since it was registered in 1962 - got copies of all the old inspection paperwork and passed every 2 years until it was imported to the UK. I think I basically just want to keep it going, and get some use out of it - my only other car is an SLK so this works great for moving stuff 😛 It's all a bit tatty, outside and in, but functional, so I'll just keep it around as a rolling restoration I reckon

Hello! I have recently come into the possession of a 1962 Skoda Octavia Combi, originally driven from Czechia to the UK in around 2012 to raise money for the NHS centre. I was wondering if anyone on here might have some more information on the car? As it came with virtually no history, the fella I bought it off wasn't very knowledgable, and I'd like to know what (if any) work has been done to it, the true mileage, and its general history over the years - maybe previous owners who would be interested in helping piece things together, or something along those lines. I'm aware this is a long shot but hopefully I can get the ball rolling! Here's what I do know about the vehicle so far: - It's a 1962 Skoda Octavia Combi in ( I believe) Felicia "Aloe Green", although I'm pretty sure this is a respray as portions of the interior are cream-painted. It is currently registration 945 YUT in the UK, and was formerly ADN 36-90 in Czechia. - It was imported from Czechia in 2012 for the above mentioned charity auction for the Haven Centre in Gosport - Before 2012, it appears to have been registered in Prague for most if not all of it's life, and has had regular inspections (Czech equivalent of MOT) every 2 years until 2012 I have attached some photos to help, so if you recognise this car please do get in touch! I plan to look after this car for many years and I'd love to know some of it's life before my ownership Thanks in advance, Matt

Hello! So I am aware that this is a 12 year old thread that I've stumbled across however, the Skoda in question is now mine! If any of you here are still active, I don't suppose you know anything of the history of the car or who owned it? The fella I bought it off was a bit of a wheeler dealer type and didn't know all that much about it unfortunately... although you'll be glad to hear its still on the road, and just needs a little TLC, as I plan to drive it for a visit back to its home in Czechia some day
