Skoda Octavia WRC Limited Edition No 73 of 100 for sale

After buying my first ever Skoda a 2002 VRS, to my disappointment they launched the WRC LE shortly after. I loved driving round in my shiny new Black VRS but once I saw a fully stickered WRC I was smitten. My VRS was heavily financed so no chance of swapping to a new WRC especially with that 21K price tag at the time. So when one came up for sale in 2015 I jumped at the chance of a new project. I wanted one that was a bit of a wreck as I had big plans to fully restore it to its former glory. Once most of the work was complete (as anyone with a project car knows it’s never ending) I took great pride in driving and showing the car, even taking best in show at the Maidstone bridge 80’s/90’s revival meets, quite proud of that.
Unfortunately it is with a heavy heart the time has come for me to part with the WRC. I’ve had my fun, I’ve achieved what I set out to achieve and I feel privileged to have finally owned and driven a WRC especially one in this condition. Therefore No 73/100 will is now up for sale so if anyone is interested please feel free to message me and we can discuss it further. I have quite a bit of history and paperwork that goes with the car not to mention a garage full of spares including wheels, engine etc. Details of the car are as follows.

Yes it's still for sale.

This thread gives me goosebumps! 

Motorline Skoda Medway picked up the WRC today and gave it a nice shiny new MOT and delivered it back to my house, what a service!

Oh dear.........its gone!!

What a car, where abouts in the world is it going to?

I'm the proud owner of 73/100. It now lives in South Wales - it will be at the car show at Llancaiach Fawr near Nelson South Wales on 8th July

Hi Kelvin

I'm so glad you bought the WRC and saved it from going back to CZ. I hope you enjoy the car as much as I did.

All the best

Glad to see it in its full glory! I actually owned it for a short while late 2014 (de stickered) but baby on way meant sale.....
