Skoda Favorit

Brief History

The Skoda Favorit was a small family car produced by Czech manufacturer Skoda Auto from 1987 to 1995.

It had a 1.3 L I4 engine which produced 62 hp, leading to a top speed of around 90 mph. The Favorit eventually succeeded the ageing rear-engined, rear-wheel drive Škoda 105/120 Estelle, and was a considerable move towards the modern mainstream in design terms thanks to its Bertone-designed hatchback body and front-wheel drive. It proved itself as one of Central Europe's most popular cars, and was also sold across the rest of Europe.

An estate version — the Forman — appeared in 1990, followed by a pickup truck in 1991.

It was replaced in 1995 by the Felicia, developed in conjunction with Volkswagen, by then owners of Skoda.

SKoda rallied this with some succes with the normal Skoda class win of the championship -- mainly coz nobody else entered competitive 1300cc fully prepped rally cars. It came 9th overal in Acropolis in 94, whcih is pretty damn good given the competition
Best pic I could find is of a later clubman entry ........

That pickup is great! I am also a big fan of the offset grille and badge on the Favorit.
