:)This car was going to be banger raced. I've no problem with banger racing, but IMO this car is too good for that, especially as this is one of the rarest types of Estelle.

Damn that's a seriously clean Estelle. Are these 1.3 litre - what sort of power/performance do they have? What makes it a particularly rare model though Dave?
One thing though, I can never understand why Skoda utilised the side opening "bonnet"? By doing so you only have 2 sides for access instead of 3 on a normal arrangement. Anyone know what the thinking behind this was?
Best order some Waxoyl and get it treated, keep it mint. Lovely example.

Where do you keep digging them up from? Whenever I look for one, they are either silly money or dead/rotten and beyond my minor means.

Anyone know what the thinking behind this was? Best order some Waxoyl and get it treated, keep it mint. Lovely example. This one is a 54bhp 1189cc engine. It is rare as it is the "Super Estelle" made only from 1982 until 1984, and they didn't all have the same shape of lights/grilles/other trim. Any of the Super Estelles are rare though. No idea on the bonnet, but no doubt there is some fantastic reason as I haven't found any Skoda part that hasn't had some functional design idea put into it. |

The bonnet is probably some random thing like the scuttle wasnt suitable for hinge mounting, and it open that side for wrong hand drive cars (so it opens onto the pavement).

Well as the front is the boot lid not the bonnet then access surely isn't as important as to the engine bay where, with swift rear panel removal, the engine is very easily got at! Beautiful looking car, don't want to sell me those wheels do you???  |
