Škoda 105 S (1977)
In original condition, only supplemented with equipment from higher versions (L, LS, GLS) and period upgrades. Driven approx. 48,000 km, never used in winter.
The body is completely rust-free, paint original except for the hood. Car from the first owner, I’m listed as the third due to transfer. Owned since April 2006.
For the first six months, it was used daily; then I realized that one of the first “užovka” models in such preserved condition deserves to be kept as a classic.
I removed the plastic mirrors and replaced them with stainless steel ones. The rear hood was a newer type with a spoiler, but I got the original smooth one back – even with its original paint.
Similarly, I restored the original steering wheel and other details. The car now has club certification and a Historic Vehicle Certificate. I drive it only for pleasure – at most 200 km per year.

Škoda Fabia 1.4.
After a call from a tow truck driver saying he was taking a coupé to the scrapyard, we didn’t hesitate – after seeing the car, it was clear that instead of being scrapped, it would come to us for revival.
The car had its original faded color, but also a service book and manual. We replaced the gearbox with a five-speed, brake and clutch cylinders, polished the paint, and fitted period wheels.
No further modifications are planned to keep it as original as possible. Yelka has new fenders and seams, but the full overhaul will have to wait – her sister MBX has priority.

Škoda Rapid 136 (1989)
Another addition to the coupé family. The car was about to be scrapped after the owner’s death, but we managed to save it right from the dumpsters.
No tuning was done, only a missing wiper – I left a note with my contact and waited for a response.
After two weeks, the family contacted me, saying they would donate the car for preservation. I helped with the paperwork, verified everything, and arranged the towing.
After the agreement and signing the contract, we took the car home. My father, looking at the Rapid, just said: “We don’t have one of those yet – I wonder what our wives will say?”
Miro Nagy, Lučenec.
Mr. Kim Makynen
Škoda 120 LS (1979)
The car was bought new by my grandmother in 1979. She drove it only in the summer and stopped in 1994, after which it stayed in the garage. The engine was later replaced; after a minor accident, the fenders and hood were repaired.
In 1999 I started using the car – it was my first car. In 2009 I completely restored it, including chrome and paint, even with a baby on the way.

We also had Š 1200, 100, 1000 MB, 130 Coupé, 105L – but in 2012 they were destroyed by fire. Today, only the green Š 105 remains.

Škoda 120 – Decoration
Your store is magical; I was thrilled to see the old toys. I’m sending photos showing how to use an engine from a Škoda 120 as a functional decoration – at home, you have an original piece of furniture and a spare engine at the same time.
