Hmm, a rusty 1.3 convertible somebody used to transport their dog. My guess is a MK3/4 Ford Escort 1.3 convertable

Piaggio Porter is closest so far, certainly in terms of utility.

Yes, for $100,000 one probably can have too many. At least I don’t have that issue.

Could have been a typo, however I think you are right, just completely forgot about them. Mostly due to its direct successor, which was just a rebadged Toyota.

Seriously though, $100,000 for a 1997 Defender V8. Say it out loud. One hundred grand. For a Defender.

But think about how many normal Defenders a $100000 could buy... Besides people only buy those so they can brag about how much money they paid for a Defender.

I’ll get there. Buy Skoda first, help build the business, make more monies, buy 130 pickup. Logical steps, as per my business plan.

Yes! We had a Felicia hatch and it was terrible and great at the same time. Basically invincible and can be fun if you drive it like a loon, but also as basic as motoring gets and fairly uncomfortable.

I may be buying it, but it’s not for me. The girls trash about in a V70 D5, but refuse to pull a trailer for collecting plants (leaving me having to collect, time out of a job yada yada), so if all is good I’m gonna pick it up, fix it up (I think the starting issue is just the crank sensor), paint it up, stick it OTR with some branding and Bob’s your uncle, canny little herbaceous perennial and tree hauler.

So, what are you doing Saturday morning? Because it’s in Spennymoor :)

Haha fair enough,will make a great work truck those 1.3 engines are something else. Rough as all hell but they just run and run and run. We never serviced ours, not once... I think I’m free Saturday unless I get called into work, not scheduled in as far as I know. Been working longish hours start of the week so I can have my weekend haha.

“German” - Skoda is Czech? VW owns MODERN Skoda, so MODERN Skoda is German (in that sense), but the Felicia was the last Skoda on their own platform, and not one of VW...?

Awesome choice though! :D

VW took full control in 1994, and actually became 30% partners in 1990, so while this '98 version has a Czech 1.3 motor and was built in the Czech Republic, both the 1.6 petrol and 1.9 diesel are German units, and the Felicia is based on the MK2 VW Caddy.

Swings and roundabouts, 6 of one and half a dozen of the other.
