Your Škoda Felicia + 450 cars

Dr. Jiří W. Pollak, sc., Zürich, Switzerland — Škoda Felicia, 1961. Personal website, Škoda Oldtimer Club – D

Continuation — Dear Mr. Vaněček, thank you for the warm and friendly welcome at your company and for the generous package! Of course, I’ve already installed it, and tomorrow we’re heading to Munich with our little Felicia. I’m sending the promised photos from the “North Pole” – the Midnight Sun Marathon, 5500 km in 14 days. The photos are mostly from the Arctic Circle, at a station at the end of the world. Wishing you continued success — Jirka Pollak.

George Pasti, Placerville, California, USA — Škoda Felicia, 1961. An American woman who worked in Prague in 1999 fell in love with the car so much that she bought two — from 1960 and 1961. In 2004, she brought them to Florida and attended classic car shows, winning several awards. Later, I found her cars at a swap meet — it was tempting to buy both, but in the end, I chose the 1961 model. Sadly, of the 15,000 Felicias produced, only about 10 are known to exist in the USA.

Continuation — Hello Vašek, thank you for the Felicia parts, everything arrived fine. Sending a photo from a classic car show – not a Felicia, but another engineering success. ?

Jon Boultinghouse, Houston, Texas, USA — thanks to Václav. I was in the Czech Republic and Prague – a beautiful country and city. I’d love to return. My car will soon be on display at a major car show in Houston (2012). — Jon.

Jim McGlynn, Little Compton, Rhode Island, USA — Škoda Felicia, 1961. I’d like to thank you for the new clutch kit. It was hard to find a mechanic willing to install it — most are afraid to work on an unfamiliar car, and a 1961 Škoda is a real rarity here. Eventually, I found a craftsman who loves challenges — in the past, he rode a 1947 Indian motorcycle across the entire USA, accompanied by a van full of spare parts. Thank you again for your help! — Jim.

Adriano Miranda, Portugal — Škoda Felicia, 2008. www.skoda-semlimites.blogspot.com

Continuation — 2013 – Hello, the goods arrived safely. Thanks for the souvenir! I’ve been to the Czech Republic twice and love it. I visited the Škoda Museum before its reconstruction, and now I want to return again. My mother was in Karlovy Vary for treatment in 1976 and loved your country. Since childhood, I’ve had beautiful memories of the Czech Republic — and of Škoda as well. (2013)

Thomas May, Germany — Škoda Felicia, 1960. After partial restoration in 2002. “In the last year I have changed the engine because the oil consumption was very high.”

Jan Beránek — Škoda Felicia, 1961.

Continuation — As promised, sending a few photos. After half a year of paperwork, I finally passed the technical inspection. ?

Continuation — Sending a short comment about the car. Engine capacity 1089 ccm, serial number 50128x. The body has a new paint job from the previous owner, the rest is original, so it’s waiting for further restoration (engine bay, chassis, interior…). I’m not convinced the engine is original (number doesn’t match registration papers).

Continuation — According to the Mladá Boleslav archive, it might be a spare part. I’m currently investigating whether it’s at least from a Felicia (serial no. 7 959 525, single carburetor, steel oil pan). I’d be disappointed if it were from an Octavia. Since I want to restore it as close to original as possible, I’ll probably remain your customer for quite some time. ?

Josef Novotný, Brandýs nad Labem — Škoda Felicia, 1961. 2012 – sending newer photos. I bought my beauty from a colleague’s son 23 years ago, around the time of the revolution.

Continuation — Dear Mr. Vaněček, thank you also for spreading positive energy. I’m trying to do the same — after all, we want to live, not just survive and complain! More details about my car: Škoda Felicia type 949/9, manufactured May 22, 1961. Body no. 10153, engine no. 519929, weight 420 kg, production series no. 10. An item of historical value. The photo here was taken before completion — for example, it’s still missing the sill trim from you.

Jarmil Wirth, Rudník — Škoda Felicia. Purchased on September 13, 2008, in Prague after an alleged earlier reconstruction. It was non-operational with faulty brakes and was transported on a trailer. After sandblasting the body, I realized it would be a long-term project. Gradually, I restored the chassis, engine, gearbox, body, and interior. After four years of work (until 2012), the car was completed and successfully passed the technical inspection. We participate in vintage car events. Thank you for your cooperation – your company also has credit for saving this beautiful car.

Filip Hlaváček, Chomutov — Škoda Felicia Super, 1964. Model with a 1221 cm³ engine and two Jikov carburetors. The first owner was my grandmother, who never drove it herself. The car served the whole family, went on holidays to Bulgaria and Hungary, and never let us down. In 1996, my grandparents transferred ownership to my mother, who also didn’t drive it. The car stood in a garage under a blanket until I became interested in it in 2017. After several hundred hours of work, I found that most of the parts were in good condition. The interior was perfect, the engine ran smoothly. It only needed cleaning and replacing of “consumable” parts. Within half a year, it was finished and the Felicia took my wife and me to our wedding. The paint is original, though my grandfather repainted some spots with a brush. The odometer shows 76,000 km. It belongs to one of the last produced units (still to be confirmed). I’d like to request certification from Škoda. The biggest experience was re-registering the car — technical inspection passed easily, EKO fee paid, but the license plates disappeared from deposit, probably destroyed by mistake. I’m attaching a few photos and thank you for your cooperation. — Filip Hlaváček.

Kateřina Hančová, Prague — Škoda Felicia. Ever since we tore down the garage doors and moved our “Felda,” we’ve been oscillating between excitement and despair. My husband says I have an emotional bond with the car (my dad bought it when I was a month old, and we drove it until I was sixteen). It was yellow, full of adventures — parts would fall off, other cars honked, and other Felicia owners waved. We drove as far as the Harz Mountains in the former East Germany, where children ran after us shouting. My dad often started it with a crank; we drove on “fumes,” and sometimes my mom and I had to push it. It was a beautiful childhood. I’m sending a few photos from the past and the present, showing the car disassembled and waiting for repair.

Continuation — Current condition. Boxes of parts and spares collected by my father not shown — they take up half the garage.
