We bought this as a 'stop gap' about a year ago when my wife's Polo went kaput. 

 

It's a 1999 Felicia Magic 5 door hatch (but without the Magic decals on the side). It's a metallic green-y/ blue / grey colour (what colour it actually is a source of much debate in the family.)

 

Good bits:

It's done approx. 50,000 miles and body work is is pretty good condition. It looks very presentable.

It has a new (exchange)  alternator, new fan belt, head gasket, coolant,  thermostat and housing,

Skoda Magic alloys

Briskoda stickers in front and rear screens! 

Power steering.

 

Bad bits:

Interior is a few cigarette burns to seats and dash. The first owners was an elderly smoker!

Sticky residue on dash that won't come off from an air freshener base

 

Has original dealer interior mats.

 

There's a couple of scuffs and a crack on the rear bumper and the nearside rear arch has been scuffed and badly touched-in  (mis-matchi paint) in the past.

 

Bodywork has usual wear and tear marks

 

One alloy has a puncture (which is why it's wearing the steel space in the pics). All 4 alloys are present. It will need 2 tyres for the MOT.

wiper blades need changing. One wheel nut missing, lost when I last changed the wheel. Oppps.

 

It overheated after the bottom hose split. On replacing the head gasket I found that one of the bolts that holds the alternator bracket on had been replaced with one that's too long, and tightening this up had cracked a section of the block.

 

I replaced the head gasket anyway, to see how it runs. Because this broken off bit of block is outside of the area of the gasket it runs OK and doesn't overheat but it weeps oil.

 

I've not driven it far, only about 10 miles to the supermarket and back, and after 30 mins in the supermarket car park  there was a palm-size puddle of oil below the car.

 

It's useable as it is, but it is a notable leak. 

 

MOT has now expired. Advisories on the last MOT were slight play in both rear wheel bearings and slight play in rear shock top mounts. As per above, needs wipers replacing and two tyres for the MOT.

 

The car's to good to scrap. It took us 1,200 miles round France last summer.  Simplest would be a replacement engine dropping in,but  sadly I don't have  time to do that.

 

The scrappy's offered me £120 for it. I'd much rather it went to an enthusiast

 

Anyone want it for £120?

 

That's £120 without road fund licence. If anyone wants the remaining RFL we can agree an additional price, Otherwise I'll cash it back in - is currently taxed till end of August.

 

Collection from near Thame Oxfordshire by trailer, or driveable if you pre-booked it for an MOT, I guess.

 

 

 

 

Anyone want this before I send it to the scrappy's...?
