EXTERIOR
Surprising Skoda was the slogan used in the original sales brochure to advertise the Estelle Two 120L and it is no surprise that these quirky cars have achieved cult status. Finished in Pebblestone, (Code 2040), the paintwork has been subject to extensive detailing and some professional cosmetic refurbishment carried out to an exceptional standard to achieve the amazing visual appeal you see today. Noticeable only upon close inspection are some small areas touched-in above the rear screen and front passenger door top and a few tiny dings. The underside is incredible having never seen repair work. The original long term owner requested a dealer fit bodyside coachline in an attempt to zhuzh up the exterior. The two-piece bumpers, registration etched glass, lights, and trim sections are all fully intact and the original supplying dealer number plates and Lombard RAC Rally sticker remain fitted. A rare surviving example preserved with 14, 627 verified miles and surely one of the best?

INTERIOR
The interior remains the sturdy utilitarian and purposeful space it was always intended to be. The black seat fabric with clean white stripe stitching is in incredible condition with no thinning or rips and the black vinyl door cards are fully intact. The carpets exude durability over opulence and the hard-wearing pile is free from damage and protected by the original sturdy Skoda tray mats which do show some aging. Totally original even down to the protective cellophane below the rear seat base and all interior equipment is also fully operational. The huge front luggage compartment with quirky side hinged hood is clean and still has the protective mat and tool roll as well as bulkhead chassis stamp, VIN plate, AZNP build plate and delicate labels. Perfect retro family motoring and a trip to the Festival of the Unexceptional?

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The rear mounted four-cylinder OHV engine is factory fitment and famed for its toughness and ability to cope with the harshness of its Eastern Bloc origins. Developing 52bhp at 5000rpm and 86Nm of torque at 3000rpm, the sales brochure quotes peak speed at 87mph. The engine compartment is very clean and complete with the original jack and even the fragile Skoda Recommend Duckhams sticker remains on the blue air filter housing. The 4-speed manual gearbox operates perfectly and feels light yet agricultural, exactly as it was made!

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
This exceptional example has factory fitted 13” steel wheels in excellent condition with perfect Skoda centre caps. Branded premium Uniroyal 165/ 80 R13 tyres were fitted in October 2022 and the original front underslung spare wheel wears the factory fitted Uniroyal tyre. The standard braking system works very well.

HISTORY FILE
Supplied new by Skoda Main Dealer, Athlone Motor Co. of Warrington, the car was registered on the 1st May 1989 to the first keeper, Mrs Haselden. All purchase documentation including the deposit receipt, order form and sales invoice confirms
the price paid of £4, 060. 56 less part exchange allowance of £1, 800 for Mrs Haselden’s 1974 Volkswagen Beetle. The history file includes the original handbook and service schedule as well as the initial PDI checklist. MOT certificates date back to the very first in 1992 until 2004 when the car was taken off the road upon Mrs Haselden ceasing driving. Post 2004 there are tax reminder notices/ SORN applications relevant to the years the car was not in use and the last tax disc from 2004 remains in the front screen.

In March 2022 KGF Classic Cars purchased the car from a charity lot at Manor Park Classics auction which was highly publicised by TV personalities Paul Cowland and Fuzz Townshend with all profits donated to the Ukrainian Refugee Fund. The car underwent total recommissioning with every aspect checked, tested and the program of works included full overhaul of ignition system, fuel and carburation, total renewal of braking system, major service, new tyres and electrical wellness with all works contained in the large history file. Promptly sold to a long term Skoda fanatic who only part exchanged this stunning car to buy our Skoda Favorit Blackline Edition. Needless to say, we are delighted to welcome it back!
