Unfortunately, it seems the owner of this skoda has decided he'd rather break or seek to banger racers.
What a shame.

I was going to break it as a lot of interest in parts but some banger racing lads have offered me asking price and I'm not going to turn that down

Fair enough, money does talk unfortunately.
Would've been nice to give it a week for someone to buy it who wouldn't wreck it, but I see where you're coming from.
Just a shame I've not got the space or time to come and see it right now.

I fully understand where your coming from
If anything if of like to of seen it broke for parts to keep others running or ultimately back on the road but
Dad hasn't got time to sell it, I'm only available on weekends so it's more of a first come first serve
I've been PM'd on here ref possible viewings before Saturday before the banger lads turn up to take it

What an utter waste if that goes off to die in the lamest form of motorsport ever imagined.  Also using a car as solid as this just shows up how inaccurate their usual get out clause of 'only using rotters' is quite often very untrue. |

They always say they're saving the cars from the scrap yard but obviously not. How a mint example like this can be used for bangers is just heart breaking. |

Currently trying to make space for this before it goes to the banger boys. No guarantees, but if I can make space inside for it, I'm happy to send a truck up to collect.
Fingers crossed, but not holding my breath.

A lot of people have been put off as the gentleman who had it before me had a bump in rear you can just see it in pic 2 on rear drivers side quarter next to light
But he got it VIC'd and back on the road
But with it being cat d people are put off
It didn't crush any panels just dented and no structural damage

It's amazing that really
A car can be written off due to somebody scratching it with a key yet everybody runs a mile

Wish I had the space for it.
I went to see it when it was at Harrogate. And now it's even closer to home!
Would be a shame to see it banger raced

I don't know why everyone is getting so over excited by it being a cat d. As you have shown, and I can vouch for, the damage is minimal. It was only written off because of the car it is and it having such a low market value.
It does beg the question though, why for such little damage and chance of it being written off did the previous owner go through the insurance? I know if it was me I certainly wouldn't have done.

what a little cracker of a car that is  who cares if its been bumped and now cat D ect its still a little jem of a motor and would look cool rolling down the road on banded steels imo, at the days end that little bump is an easy weekend repair for some one, I have seen wots been posted above about it being banger raced or broken for parts but which ever the outcome its still the same ending its destined for the scrap yard and that's a shame really, in my eyes its not a car being scrapped its a piece of history being scrapped, that skoda was built by skoda back in the 80s not like todays skoda with badge engineering built by VW, you scrap one of them and VW will roll a new one off the line so who cares but if you scrap that piece of history it will never be replaced, stick it on ebay or give it some time for the right buyer to come along and save it,
