robt100 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Has been posted over on the Skoda forum for a while now, but needs to be gone by the end of this week, seems a shame to just scrap it when it could be a decent project to get running again. Though it may be of interest to a few on here.

worldofceri Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Shame, I am just up the road so any other week I could have scooped this up and roffled off at £2.50 a go or something, but too busy I’m afraid to get there before next week.

Lord Sterling Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 I'm in Brussels otherwise I might have been tempted. Given the way the bastard Peugeot has let me down, I could do with my own back-up car to take abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck I'd have had a transport quote off you for that as well but alas payday and the deadline for this car don't match up. I'd really like it but finances don't allow at the moment.

robt100 Posted August 29, 2023 Author Share Posted August 29, 2023 Thats great news! Given the listing on Briskoda I was a little concerned it could end up being a bag of worms. thankfully it did what early 00's skodas do and just work. mk2_craig and Floatylight 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
