FOR SALE – 73/100 Registered 1 March 2002

 

A rare opportunity to purchase one of the remaining 16 Octavia WRC 100 Edition cars left in the UK.

73/100 was fully restored by Des Jansen (delcac on here) during 2015/16/17. Des lived in Kent and he and Pete Drury who owned 66/100 decided to carry out a joint restoration of the two WRCs. Whatever was done to No 66 was also done to No 73 and Pete maintained a blog of the restoration of No 66 - see attached link: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/370561-wrc-66100-and-88100/

Back in 2016 the two cars were considered as the best WRCs in the country.

 

Approximately £16,000 was spent on the restoration of No 73 turning it into an almost brand new Octavia WRC. All parts replaced were new genuine from Skoda. I purchased the car in May 2018 with the mileage on 113600 and it has been a privilege to own a piece of Skoda history. It still looks and drives like a new car. The only imperfection is a dent on the bonnet where I dropped a hammer!

 

Link attached to the BriSkoda advert when I bought it as it shows lots of information and pictures of the restoration which paint the full picture:

Total mileage now is 119,800 so I have only added 6200 miles since the restoration in 8 years. It is a well known car on the forums and I will be sad to see it go. Reason for the reluctant sale is the purchase of a Audi S2 Avant dressed up as an RS2 which is my dream car so 73/100 has to go.

 

The cherished plate V100 WRC goes with the car as it makes the car unique. I also have lots of spares to go with the car including another Decal set from the original supplier to Skoda (about £1200 value).

I have 2 folders of receipts and photos of the restoration including a very rare certificate of authenticity from Skoda. The original service history is included and I have maintained the car with annual oil changes added to the service book. The MOT is valid to March 2027. Photo taken at the MOT in March 2026. No advisories since the restoration!

This is a rare opportunity for the buyer to own a piece of automotive history as these cars do not come onto the market very often. The car is located in South Wales, 25 minutes from Cardiff. I believe I have priced it fairly at £12,995 or very near offer. Please contact me at <Removed>

Those guys were 100% committed to those cars so I remember they were both looked after very well indeed.
