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.

 

·        Car is SORN at the moment sitting in my garage since I started the restore but will come with a fresh MOT once sold.

·        Current Mileage – 113600

·        The car has been stripped and resprayed white and green on bumpers/door handles.

·        It has been re-stickered (not a reproduction) with and original kit from 2001 one of only 3 sets left in the world at the time. Peter Drury has one set and I have a spare set which comes with the car.

·        There are over £10,000 worth of new and refurbished parts on the car, all genuine Skoda parts – Turbo, Brakes, exhaust manifold, carpets, complete suspension the list goes on for ever.

·        There are some upgrades on the car i.e. Pioneer DAB head unit, quality component speakers and sub with amp. All easily swopped for OEM kit if required.

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!

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
