April 1987 "Your New Skoda" brochure ... my favourite is the back cover photo ... and as the date is right, I'm pretending it's my blue 130LSE in the back right of the front cover photo ...

Those were the days...

I like the way they tell you spare fuses are included. They aren't on my vRS... 

i came across this review on

last night may be of interest, its an 80s version of top gear testing the skoda 105s against a couple of eastern bloc rivals!

If there's one thing a 1980s blue Skoda Estelle (with mudflaps) isn't, it's stylish.

Oh no Sir, I beg to differ ....

That is really excellent, thank you for sharing!

Tut tut Ben,

We know where you live

(insert fiendish laughter)

It's funny that in this day and age if you saw a vehicle described as a Rapid 130 you'd probably expect it to have 130bhp as opposed to being a shortened version of 1300cc

And how cool does an Estelle have to look ?

Bevan's car always turns a few heads.

I love the window in the engine cover.

Bevs car is not what anyone would call stylish.....in fact it should be featured on Barryboys I think (if you dont know what that is use google).

This is my baby in action....its fairly stylish think....but it is green! Loving the brochure by the way.....superb

That dog has the "I am NOT f***ing well getting in THAT!" look on its face!

Is that Steve W's old car ?

Yeah, it doesn't look happy does it.

I think it was worried about spoiling the fine upholstory with his moulting fur.

It is, and hawkeracing has done a mighty fine job restoring the car.

Thanks Dave...I dont want to be too immodest.......but I have! It has cost a whole pile of money too.....like half a new bottom of the range Fabia to date. But then its a whole load more fun and interesting.
