I like these. What a cool looking thing. French spaceship bus. 

@djoptix was looking for a bus, I don't know if that vacancy has been filled. I keep wanting him to get an old Espace because they're bulletproof*.

Not sure if I dreamed this but I remember years ago the RAC rally had a massive downpour of snow and the Skoda rally team absolutely destroyed the competition with these as they had fitted slightly bigger tyres on the rear (yes I know their fwd) apparently this was an old trick of Stig Blomqvists who was driving at the time 

It happened, but it was a Felicia, though that's pretty much the same thing once you've stripped everything out and fitted a cage. Can't remember the year, though it would be easily googlable. 1994/95ish at a guess. He managed to finish 3rd overall. Not 3rd in class, Škoda won their class for years on end anyway. But actually 3rd overall beating all the 4WD stuff in their front wheel drive Felicia. I presume the Top Gear Stig is named after Mr Blomqvist. Legend.

How much do you know about what's under the bonnet of that Favorit? My (bog standard) one had a 1.3 of some description, possibly OHV although couldn't swear to it. 

That rally Fav has twin Webers which is nice, but I wonder what else it might be packing to liven it up a little?

Didn't I read somewhere that the traction batteries for these are NLA?

Just realised how similar the spelling of 'fluence' is to 'flatulence'.

Traditional tuning. Free flow exhaust and some impractical cam profiles.

This needs to be saved and hopes no one destroys this as the seller suggests.

It mentions a different camshaft and you'd hope it had some sort of nice flowing exhaust though I can't see it in any of the pictures. Also the battery is on the other side from mine, though it says it was converted from LHD so if there was no need to move it best leave it alone I guess. 

With these it's more a case of what they haven't got than what they have. Simplify and add lightness, or was it the other way round. I can't help thinking that roll cage would weigh more than all the stuff they stripped out, though it is obviously a necessity. Also notice it has mk2 door trims so probably mk2 doors. These have extra side impact bars which would seem unnecessary with a roll cage! 

The wheels look similar but not the same as the original rally wheels which were also four spoke but magnesium so much lighter.

Yep, OHV engine. They bored it out to a 1.4 for the Fabia.

[Yoss]

It must have been the last OHV in mass production. Lasted until 2003 I think. Does anyone know of a later one? Has a really short timing chain too. So short it doesn't have a tensioner. They can stretch a bit which makes them a bit rattly but I've never known one break or skip a tooth.

Pretty sure you could still get an OHV Ka on an 04 then they went duratec. 

You certainly could on a 52/03/53 but they might have been run out spec.

That does look nice, aged really well. 

Always remember the auctioneer up Leominster loving the 2.2 d engine in anything Renault "cracking engine in these, they really can move you know". 

Mage bought one once in a laguna to sell on and was shocked how well it went over the mountains on the way home. Sold it easily too, must have had a following back then as well.

Yep, the 1.2 HTP was developed as a replacement for the 1.4 8v. I think there's some 04-reg 1.4 MPIs kicking about but they'll be late-registrations.

[AnnoyingPentium]

Cheap shite. I quite like it too. Maybe not with quite as many miles on it though.

Looks like a ménage á trois between a Simca 1000, an NSU Prinz and an Autobianchi 112  spaffing cash on that would be a pleasure 😁

5.0 V10. Wasn’t that a diesel ? I thought these were 6.0 W12.

Woah!

 

I used to own a Java Green A4 in 2014-2016. Mine was 1.8T Quattro Sport. It's weird seeing an N/A 1.8 in that colour, or even just another A4 in that colour. I've never seen another one up until now.

 

Photo for proof. It was written off shortly after I sold it in 2016 when an HGV changed lane into the side of it. The new owner had only had it about 6 months or so.

It had a weird scratch on the wing when I bought it, so that plaster sticker got put over it, because I'm lazy.

 

I just noticed the advert even says:

Quote

and after internet searching I have only found one old  posting of another in the UK and unsure if that car still exists ?

Nope!

Yeah, the W12 was the top of the range. If a v10 diesel wasn't good enough VW also sold you a V12 diesel, you'd have to pop over to Audi to get that though, only available in the Q7.

Didn’t know the Pharton was available as a diesel.
