Hi can anyone shed any light I have seen the mk1 shape upto a 56 plate but have seen a mk2 on a 54plate when i try to buy bits sometime the options only go to a 2004 model any info would be greatly appreciated Thanks Rick

After they brought in the Mk2 they kept selling the Mk1 as the Octavia Tour for several more years.

How bizarre but thanks for the info Rob

Mainly coal burners then mine must be ultra rare being 1.8t lpg then

Mk1 vrs can be had upto 06 plates. Rare though. Must of had a few unregistered ones lying about

Newest mk1 taxi spec ive seen was a 2010 plate...

the idea was that to buy one you had to have a taxi license iirc, "special" edition 100bhp tdi lump. Mostly to use use all production run body panels and keep factories ticking over, but just kept going as they kept being bought instead of mk2 by taxi companies

Thanks for the info so buying bits if i go to the 2004 they will fit as a rule of thumb

Mine is the same = Nov 2005 on a 55 plate vrs - Insurance and car parts go to 2004 - It's a 2004 model so parts fit, insurance can be a pain as you cannot select 2005 and then put in the mk1.

I had an 06 mk1 vrs ex police

I had a 55 plate mk1 accident damaged for breaking. must have been one of the last available to general public

Had it been played with by the local constabulary Trevor thanks for the update might look in to hiw many were last registered and what no mine was in line if possible im becoming a skoda nerd

Nope, though it wasn't a patrol car as there were no holes anywhere except for next to stereo, it's no longer about though as was unfortunately worth more in bits

Mines a 55, i stole it off the reserve list lol

Told the salesman i want red or i want none

Good man, someones loss lol

Seen a few 58 plate mk1 private hires around here.

Mines red too lloyd dark grey alloys will put piks up when i become a full member

Mine's a 55 plate Mk1 vRS, had a slight hiccup with insurance first time around but a quick phonec all to the insurance company resolved it.

I had the ins grief, kept calling it a elegance lol

No you fool its a Vrs lol they dont have a clue do they insurance companies

With HIC now, they sorted me out

I had an 06 mk1 vrs ex police
