Cool, small world, I'd told him to keep the blue one and sell the red as the blue really stands out and SE so better kit, but his Mrs loves the red one. Forgot to ask him what he'd decided on, obviously kept them both lol. Had tried to get him up to the wee meet .

 

Health to drive dude, lovely looking wee motor.

Cheers bud yeah the blue sets them off imo!

Looks to be a different one.

 

That's a pity about the breaker hadn't noticed that ad, I would have been after the wheels.

Whats wrong with the changer? I blew mine out with an airline and has it worked ever since.

 

I have one pulled out of my last one, must try it and see if it works for ye.

At that money they will be waiting even longer. I will just get mine refurbed in the spring.

I've seen a couple of other sets for sale over the past year and they all seem to be asking that sort of money for some reason. Wouldn't have thought they were that sought after as a wheel, and not a huge Mk1 market over here.

A set just went up across the water on FB if of any use at £150 I used to use Paisley to move wheels over at about £29 a set. https://www.facebook.com/groups/skodaownersuk/permalink/1955888851338048/

£33.99 now for a set of 4 17"'s Paisley Freight Link

Did they keep the mk1 going in a base model for police fire brigade etc?

Mk1 was made up to 2009/2010 with some late registered in 2011 knocking about. Taxi's and company vehicle customers in UK it seems where the purchasers. Weird thing is that they kept making the Mk1 FL during Mk2 PFL and just into Mk2 FL production!
