I don't think these were ever officially built in rhd.

Ahhh - I'd assumed JDM just because it was RHD and had the square front plate... interesting. (MOT history is top notch)

[edit] Yup - GoogleFoo says you are spot on. Factory cars were all LHD but there seems to have been a number of places (all over the world) that would make them RHD - Australia features a lot - not a lot I can find about UK cars.
I guess they'll be something in the paperwork/import stuff?

Do we need a seperate thread for the utterly doomed?

Interesting that the completely-rotted away bits were plastic. (The space between front wing and bumper-end)

I know you've figured it out the hard way but it says in the eBay description that it's a conversion. The seller knows how much the conversion cost so hopefully they have the rest of the related paperwork.

Read an eBay description? Moi?   I do like a good dig around the web.
It's an intriguing little car (and not one I've ever seen before). It also seems fairly well priced compared to similar aged stuff like Porsche 924/944 - if I was in the market for something different it'd be worth a trip to look at. I'm sure spare parts are* ten a penny.

I saw this at the side of the road and stopped for a butchers.

Possible field find...

£1250 BX - I was interested until I saw it is LHD (advert says RHD but also says LHD ??)
Still a half decent looking thing but, for giggles, read the ad wording. 

[edit] it's also out of MOT - looks like it had only one done to get UK plates in March last year

The current use of AI feels like the time when GUI word processors became readily available and every piece of text got formatted in Comic Sans.

Just because you can etc.

If I were to hazard a guess it may have been converted by Bunce for a New Zealand or Australian buyer - cars there have to be RHD regardless of their market origin to get plates.

In spite of the AI word vomit, that looks like a nice one. I wonder what the market will end up valuing it at? 

If I had room and money: £1250 if it's got an MoT

It also has an interior I've never seen before. I assume it has been retrimmed but it looks very well done. You can see all the individual panels of fabric exactly like the original. It also has different fabric panels in the door trims which must be much harder to replace so is it some special edition I don't know about?

And to finish it off they've picked out the Škoda lettering in the door pulls.

Obviously very well looked after so as you say, I'll be interested to see what it goes for.

This is probably anyone's best shot at Piech's W8 experiment in the Passat. Cheap, low mileage, Japanese import.

FB Marketplace offered me a £8750 Moggy, 'funny looking thing behind the rad grille ' I thought

Ahhhh - that's why

Always remember - a picture paints a thousand words, so make sure your car ads are selling not just the vehicle but the lifestyle your audience aspires to.

Here’s an excellent example.

Camper conversion done. Not Spanish registered (nor is it ever likely to be) hence the low (?) price

I'd love this. Shame we don't have any friendly and trustworthy transporter companies on here now 😔
