You won't get anywhere near 300hp on a stock head Richard!

How would anyone know if you had a ported head and bored the block out to 2.0?!

Porting fine, but must be stock type head.

MSA rules allow one overbore apparently...

It's not 300bhp but a certain 09 plate may be up for sale shortly !!

PM me.

Good luck with the search Richard. Not too many about though sadly

I'd love a 300bhp 1.8t

I'm hoping to run 300 for next year [emoji38]

They weren't non-VRS models Dan. And one of them went wrong so much that he broke it.

 

Richard didn't ask for none vRS. And it was strictly tongue in cheek. But thank you for ruining it.

Been a while since anything happened on this.

But I am on the look out for a well modified (high power) Fabia mk1 VRS....

Ideally spec running 300bhp or more.

Ha. Im loving that comment.

Mk1 fabia VRS's are still popular.

There's a few trolling around on the fabia vrs pages on facebook 220+ but unsure on the reliability of them. (Its facebook after all)

That's spray tint or fly eye I suspect

 

Many thanks for the reply. Does anyone know if the wheels are 16 or 17 inch on the silver estate? (and have they been repainted?)

That's interesting Sam, thanks.

Was it ever an option on the Elegance?

I've only seen one of those in LHD, never seen a FGF Elegance in the UK.

Just Classic and Comfort.

 

I wondered if it was because nobody ever actually ordered the car in that colour, they were just stock ones.

 

 

Soo...Thought I'd throw this out there.

 

Seems there was at least 1 Fantasy Green UK spec Elegance. Probably an original press/demo car from Skoda UK when the Fabia was first launched.

Last taxed and MOTd in 2011 though :(

my 220hp fabia is going to be a means to an end shortly once I pick up my mk2 octy tomorrow.

 

probably not high powered enough though :P and 4th gear syncro is kaput

..... Ahem.... 

 

Fabia Saloon in fantasy green. At least one exists

Looks possibly a Hungarian plate.

It's a Czech plate.

It's a Czech plate Lee.

 

Looks like it's been dead a long time though....

 

 

A LHD imported Saloon would be a bit pointless though.

 

Anyway, I am currently pottering about in the estate, although I need to sort a set of wheeltrims.

 

Is that a Clio with a boot on the left of the pic? Seat, Skoda, and then what ???

Richard.

 

Looks like it. Small saloons are much more popular on the mainland.

 

In 26k driving my Cordoba I saw 4 others. In Spain you can see 4 Cordobas on the same street.

'cause they're horrible :-D

All these years later and I still have a thing for Fantasy Green.

 

Currently have:

1.4 8v Estate bought 10/11 years ago and already pictured on this thread.

1.9 SDI which is rough but plods along happily on 185k miles.

1.4 16v Elegance with the AWESOME Mystic Beige interior option!

 

the Elegance is the only Fantasy Green one I’ve come across in 14 years.  So what with the fancy interior I had to get it about 4 years ago.  It’s been fettled over the last few years and is now in great shape!

Yeah I would think so. Was it even a colour option on the saloon? I seem to think the colours were limited on it, I'll need to check my old brochure.🤔

Not sure how I missed this but it's excellent to see you still have a thing for Fantasy Green Fabias.

 

They're getting rarer than ever these days so good to see you still have 3 on the go. 

 

Have you ever thought about doing something like a car cave video that Jonny Smith does on his YouTube channel?

It would be fascinating to hear the story behind a lot of your collection. I can't imagine many collections are as eclectic as yours, from green Fabia that would pass most people by, to the head turners of touring cars etc.

The UK sales brochure says that Fantasy Green was not available as a saloon, so I think the only ones are LHD cars in the EU.

I did message that show a good while back and never got a reply. 😄
I'm not so desperate as to keep trying with different people, just thought it would be a fun thing to do.
