Skoda Historic Vehicle Tour

Featured Replies

Found this on Radio Prague's website (http://www.radio.cz/en/article/68763 dated 23/7/05):

A veterans' car ride across Europe is underway in honour of the centenary of the Skoda car plant in Mlada Boleslav. The veterans' parade has already passed through Poland, Germany and Belgium and has still to conquer England, France, Italy, Austria and Slovakia - a long road indeed when you are travelling at 50 kilometres per hour. The cars are covering approximately 300 kilometres a day. The selection of five veterans was made by Skoda and they all date back to the first half of the twentieth century. "The response from the public is great, a member of the accompanying team said - people wave and stop us, asking to take photographs." The oldest of the veterans had a spot of trouble in Belgium and needed servicing, but the Belgian firm d'Ieteren, the sole importer of Skoda cars in the country, rose to the occasion and replaced the ailing veteran temporarily with an even older Skoda model dating back to 1905 from its own museum. It saved the day - and I bet that the museum bound veteran was equally happy to be allowed out on a trip.

Would be interesting to see them in the UK somewhere
