2016-02-05 17:33 | Simply legendary car. Trnava was technically a part of Czechoslovakia, thus it should be under Czech flag, but the town is located in nowadays Slovakia, so it is under Slovakian flag. Secondary picture is showing panel version, but first verson of 1203 is very rare and it is hard to find proper photos of correct version. |

2016-01-31 21:26 | fck wrote In Poland unmarked traffic police vehicles sometimes also don't use beacons on top In czech laws the beacon must be placed on top of the vehicle and it must be visible from all sides + some other laws that new Skoda police cars violate. fck wrote And also red/blue beacons are used by the first and last emergency vehicle in the column. Do you want to know the explanation why in CZ are not Blue/red beacon. Because someone could think that it is a breaking light... Great explanation. And the president of CZ police is lying about the fact that it is a first time in europe that our police cars doesnt have beacons on top. |

2016-01-31 19:41 | Desscythe17 wrote Unmarked police cars in the Netherlands also have no beacon on top. Only a light behind the windshield I think. I guess it is not against the law in your country, but here it is, just like red/blue beacons on emengercy vehicles. -- Last edit: 2016-01-31 19:50:32 |

2015-12-17 18:00 | Today, I went on internet and I found this: skoda-virt.cz/cz/auta/favorit-a-felicie/10026-ota-jezevcik/ It is only one of approx 2-8 Pickups with very long wheelbase that were made in Cesana and it is still a car, not a Electrolux fridge. Its a technicaly a commercial car, so I am not going to upload it on WCS, but its interesting. |
 | JFK
2015-12-03 14:40 | Tech spec might be little bit off, since I have a feeling that these are from a pickup eltra. Odd thing is, that in this photo, normal one is shown: elweb.info/dokuwiki/lib/exe/fetch.php?w=600&tok=f64618&media=skoda:skoda2.jpg Car wasnt available normally in CZ, only 9 were bought by Czech mail. |

2015-11-07 17:07 | JFK wrote VW group cars are not nice to tune, they all look odd somewhat. I also listed this car as a hatchback rather than concept, but I already corrected it. I don't really believe in visual tuning when it's done by someone other than the manufacturer, but yeah tuned VWs are awful. |

2015-11-07 13:24 | Felicia Fun was also available as Felicia Midi Fun. It had big plastic cover above truck bed, often seen on ordinary Felicia Pickups and Vanplus. There were 3 colors available, yellow, orange and green, but only for bumpers, rollbar etc. |
 | JFK
2015-11-05 15:58 | Engine used in this isnt same that Felicia uses. This is czech-engineered engine, but to Felicia they used older and heavier VW engine with less power. |

2015-09-26 21:02 | JFK wrote I added 781.115 engine, and it was deleted, because it is a prototype? It was supposed to be a cheaper car than normal Favorit (big price gap between top 120 and low end Favorit) and it was a planned succesor to Skoda 105. There are not much differences between this prototype (only thing that you will notice is narrow wheels), so I thought that I will not do it as a standalone car, and there are also low quality pics of it. Should I add it to engine to this Favorit page or as a standalone? This verion isn't for the proto but for the normal version so if you want to put a proto, it's as standalone. Other thing, please put also the name of the car when you put a limited series, not only the name of the limited series: Skoda Favorti Sport Line instead of Sport Line. Same case for fck with the Polski |

2015-09-17 20:28 | JFK wrote  Well, that is the first time I heard about somebody did from bigger engine smaller. Usually for racecars mechanics will do the standard engine bigger. They did it to make this car able to start in 1600 ccm class (due to 1,4 coefficient). But I have no idea why they chose 120 engine instead 105. Maybe because S120 engine is a little bit "squarer" what is make engine more flexible. But it's just a blind guess. |

2015-09-11 14:58 | Two years older than its Slovakian counterpart BAZ 742 PP. I doubt that you can see rear badging, but it actually says Škoda 120 L. But L model had single headlights, so it cant be L (GLS had chromed things around double headlights). This car is pretty much mashup. -- Last edit: 2015-09-11 16:31:47 |
