Skoda seem hell bent on removing every trace of old brochures and regularly changing URLs of more recent ones.

 

But there is one thing they cannot change—the internet archive! This is an archive of old versions of websites that have been collected over the years. If you're lucky, it has what you want.

 

The way not works is you go to http://archive.org and then type in the URL of the website you want to get an old version of. I typed http://www.skoda.co.uk and hit enter. Then you get a calendar of all the old versions of the site in the archive, I clicked on the timeline early 2008 and then a random date (25 Feb) and then it came up with a very broken looking home page, but there is just enough information there to help me find the brochures section.

 

https://web.archive.org/web/20080225231835/http://www.skoda.co.uk:80/brochures_testdrives.aspx

 

On this page I clicked the "brochure" under the Roomster and then the broken looking button at the bottom of that table and it took me to the brochure PDF. I did the same for "accessories" and got that PDF, too. Both are attached to this post. 

 

It seems 2008 was the first online brochure for the Roomster as the 2007 brochure was print only.

 

Hopefully you can find the old brochures you require! 

If you need any help, feel free to ask in this thread.

 

Happy motoring,

Good work.

Thank you for that advice.

it worked and now I know that the car I bought matches the brochure . Much appreciated

Thanks.

 

Just uploaded a 2011 Yeti brochure to help with the class action against VW.

Apologies for reviving an old thread but I have tried using the web archive to download a brochure for a Skoda Superb MY17 after October 2016 to include the Sportline but am having difficulties. I have tried using a phone, tablet, laptop and desktop with no joy. I can get to the section to download the brochure but nothing happens. Is it me or am I trying to achieve the impossible? Thanks in advance.
