Browsing eBay I came across this...

 

I wasn't aware that 2-tone black and green with subtle go faster stripes was an official colour?

 

Unless you're trying to hide sometime, I really don't see the point. :think:

Not the nicest colour scheme I've ever seen.

Actually, I'm not sure if it's just shadows, but on the pictures it looks like the door mirrors have been done in 2-tone as well. :(

recon thats shadow

 

I bet that bottom has been painted black to hide damage - probably stone-chip/rust

i saw an elephant with the same colour scheme once.....

 

 

Looks hideous. Almost certainly a cover up for something.

What makes me wonder is that it's now marked as sold. Can't help but think £1,950 for a Y plate l&k with 100k on it is a little... Ambitious?

I only just spotted on second viewing, the delightfull go faster stripes up the centre line...

 

BOWDERS This IS NOT what Lloyd or me were talking about for stripes.... :no:

That's horrid.  Mind you, Skoda did do some pretty nasty colours back then, there were at least three different shades of mouldy greeny-grey available on the Octavia range, so it probably looked hideous even before it was modified.
