Thought I'd take some pics of my rare old heap today.

VERY nice Dave. I always feel that the black window/door surrounds look sporty and understated and very modern (in a good way). It is as if Skoda were proud of what they had created and went the extra distance to make it as good as possible.

10 out of 10 from me!

Dave its not a heap. I want one! Its custardtastic

That's all types of awesome!

There's two that are rotting away near our warehouse at work, owner of the garage says "one's my son's, t'other's a customers". Literally, years they've been there!

+1 I always wanted a rapid but could never afford one

That must be one of the last flat nose Rapids too Dave. Your fleet is bordering on the awesomeness.

Two according to DVLA in the UK. The other one is a black 90th Anniversary edition. However, I'm currently applying for a logbook for another one that I have that isn't on the DVLA list so that's three....bet you didn't know I could count to three! :p

It looks great, what the one hiding away in the background? Has anyone seen the one on e bay for £2400?

Looks brilliant. I hope to join the rear engine club next year.

:yes: The one in the background is an Estelle Two 130LSE owned by Tailhappy on here.

Dave,

As the new and happy owner of the blue 130L E774, and 20 years since I had one. I have flushed the coolant, renewed gearbox and engine oil...but would welcome some advice on keeping her running. As shes only doing so few miles, need to make sure she is well maintained for years to come. Any advice welcome!!

A couple of years ago I did an Estelle/Rapid buyers guide for Classic Car Weekly [which featured a pic of this yellow Rapid], and it was also in the Skoda Owners's Club magazine. When I get time I'll post a similar thing on here.

Stunning.
