Sold Skoda Favorit £700

[Fabergé Greggs]

... and I’m home.

 

Which I celebrated in the customary fashion by going to Tesco.

 

It drives like a new car! Ridiculous! I’m worried it’s a bit too nice for me to use really.

[Ben_O]

Incredible!

[somewhatfoolish]

Those rimz look like they've been in the sea, Titanic special edition. Well boughterated.

'MKP' registration means that it was likely to have been supplied new by Adamsons in Walmer or Express Garage in Herne Bay

I reckon there should be a set of Favorit alloys knocking about, they tend to outlast the rest of the car.

 

Also, I believe the alloys were added by Skoda UK once imported, and they sent empty containers back to Czech with more alloys in them. I hope that's right. Felly might have told me that originally!

 

Let's have a random pic of the coupé they never made...

Were the stock alloys on these not

 

• very smart,
• very understated
• 5 spoke things very, very faintly reminiscent of Ferrari ones?

 

That is a bloody nice car though. 11/10.

[Jim Bell]

The lad done very well.

 

I image absolutely no other cars in London are like that.

[dollywobbler]

Wonderful! I may yet have to scratch the Favorit itch before the year is out.

Well Bought, Good Sir!

 

Those tailgate badges would drive me up the wall!

 

If I am not mistaken, the owner (whose name escapes me) of that fab turquoise one on here had a pair of front mudflaps for an estate.

 

Edit: Yoss! That's his name! Mudflaps: http://autoshite.com/topic/26782-felly-fav-and-trum/?p=1280480

- corroded terribly and were a bitch to seal.

I’ll never forget a mate of mine bought one of these in that fairly ‘apparent’ green colour back in 2009. He was successful in property, but fell in love with his Skoda and drove it all around the country keeping various appointments. It would have been pretty old by then, but resembled something twice its age. He absolutely adored it, and it was as much a part of the family as his fat headed Labrador and buxom fiancée.

 

Well bought J2S. Hope to see it around.

Caribbean green. As immortalised by Billy Ocean. ????

Brilliant colour on a great little car.

Although it's a bit VAG, it's about the last of the real Skodai imo, well bought that man. Keep it forever.

[skoda_fan]

There seems to be a lot of love for it on here. This is good. Convinces me I'm not a weirdo after all (which is actually slightly disappointing!).

[oldcars]

This is class. Get the wheels powdercoated if there is anything left to powdercoat 

[timolloyd]

It'd be great if you took it to the posh VAG dealership in Chiswick for a 10k mile service!

[plasticvandan]

all the tickets please

[purplebargeken]

So, what time on Sunday are you popping over in it?

Oh great, Facebook group come up trumps? Brill. 

[purplebargeken]

Okay, what time on Saturday are you popping over (after 2pm)

[Pillock]

Love the way they out an ESTATE badge on the bootlid.

 

Like you're going to look around it, see the badge, look at the shape of the back end again and go "oh yeah!"

I know it’s ridiculous. It may as well say “car”

Woah! I didn’t notice the ceiling interior clock by TESLA

[MorrisItalSLX]

Calendar shot, right there!

[Jim Bell]

Didnt OMD have a song about Tesla clocks?

[egg]

In my experience, rare for one of the clocks not to have some digits missing!

[oldcars]

How the mighty have fallen. Look at the junk they churn out now.

[oldcars]

Didnt OMD have a song about Tesla clocks?

No

No no no

No no no

Tesla girls Tesla girls

Testing out there clocks

Electric chairs and ESTATE cars

Dressed to kill they're killing me

But heaven knows their recipe

[Fabergé Greggs]

This is proving quite the charming conveyance.

 

I’ve been lobbing in pez and it’s generally seemed willing and able in a pleasingly basic manner.

 

As such I treated it to some fresh rimz yo

[Ben_O]

Much better
