I've had a search but cannot see anything that relates (although i know this question must have been asked already) I'm having a look round at 05-07 plated Mk2 Octavias and have noticed that a few look like so: http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Skoda-Octavia-Estate-Elegance-1-9TDI-PD-2005-/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/z/XxEAAOxygj5Sk7Ly/$_12.JPG

 

and the majority look like: http://i.ebayimg.com/t/2006-SKODA-OCTAVIA-CLASSIC-TDI-SILVER-/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/z/LgIAAOxyNo9SqYnT/$_12.JPG

 

Now normally i'd say that it was a facelift model but a whole year apart, surly not? 

 

Is there a specific model i.e. only elegance that looked like the 1st one or is there something more complex about it?

 

TIA and I'd rather the 05 plate over the 06.

Don't know if its me but the picture links are not working.

This is a mk 1

 

 

This is a mk 2

 

 

They did carry on making mki's for taxis while the mkii was being sold so both models can share/overlap some plates.
