An astonishing Skoda Favorit GLXi Estate with one owner and 13,835 miles.
EQUIPMENT
Rear spoiler, halogen headlamps, twin rear fog lamps, two internally adjustable door mirrors, rear window wash/wipe, heated rear window, rear wheel mudflaps. GLXi specification; Halogen front fog lamps, variable interval windscreen wipers, 5-spoke alloy wheels, bodyside mouldings, tilt sunroof, front mudflaps, stereo radio/cassette player, tachometer, interior boot light/torch, contoured seats in polyester trim, knitted fabric interior door trim, cut pile velour carpet, rubber floor mats, bonnet sound proofing, document pockets, split folding rear seats.
EXTERIOR
This incredible and original Skoda Favorit is an extremely rare survivor and a true credit to its one owner from new. Finished in factory Swan White, (Code 1061), the paintwork presents in fabulous condition with a bright uniform shine throughout. All bodywork panels are arrow straight and the underside, sills and wheel arches are structurally perfect. Such is the factory originality of this 13,835 mile example that Skoda afficionados will notice small patches of dark grey primer at each end of the sills and within the wheel tubs where the car would have been secured to the production line during painting leaving these areas unfinished! All trim, etched glass and light fittings are perfect aside from a small crack to the front bumper corner and the supplying Skoda Main Dealer number plates and rear screen sticker remain fitted. Quite possibly the best surviving Skoda Favorit to be found.
INTERIOR
This top of the range GLXi interior features plush contoured seats in polyester trim which are in pristine condition commensurate with the 13,835 miles covered. Such remarkable preservation extends to the immaculate trim sections and fabrics with only very light markings to the carpet in the driver’s footwell. The delightfully robust and utilitarian dashboard and switchgear is typical of Skoda’s before Volkswagen involvement of which the Favorit was the last. All equipment and controls operate perfectly including the factory fitted Blaupunkt Boston CC20 stereo. The luggage area is spotless and even the GLXi standard boot torch remains in place.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The front mounted four-cylinder engine was a significant departure from Skoda’s traditional rear mounted engine fitted to the Favorit’s predecessors, the 105/120 Estelle and Rapid range. The 1289cc unit features Bosch Mono Motronic fuel injection and produces 54bhp and 94Nm of torque to achieve a top speed of 84mph and 0-62mph in 17 seconds. The engine bay is spotlessly clean with factory plates, chassis number stamp, PDI dabs and stickers all present and undamaged. Incredibly even the paint code label remains attached to the bulkhead which is virtually unheard of! Likewise, the common areas prone to water retention and corrosion are absolutely perfect in structure. The sturdy 5-speed gearbox is superb in operation.
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
This exceptional example has factory fitted 13” alloy wheels which are standard on the GLXi model. The wheels are in amazing unrestored condition with clearly defined part number stampings and perfect Skoda centre caps. Factory fitted 165/70 R13 Barum OR52 all-weather tyres are a rare sight on a UK car as UK customers were offered an upgrade to a premium brand Goodyear tyre alternative which most buyers opted for. On grounds of age, the tyres should be replaced if the car is to be used for anything other than display/show purposes. The servo assisted braking system is factory standard and stops the car as it should.
HISTORY FILE
Supplied new by Skoda Main Dealer Main Dealer, Welham Green Cars of Hertfordshire, the car was registered on the 1st August 1993 to the first and only keeper, Mrs Riddle. Purchase documentation confirms the price paid of £6,400. The history file includes service receipts dating back to the first in 1994 when the car had covered just 599 miles as well as every single MOT certificate for each year without fail since the very first in 1996! The original Skoda document wallet holds all handbooks, guides and dealership literature including the service book as well as both sets of keys. Completing the history file are original Favorit and Favorit Estate sales brochures.
HPI Clear.

Despite some comments these were a major step forward for Skoda, and this is a superb example from that era immediately before VW took the company over.

We still have quite a few of these skoda's still roaming around in Malta, you can find them for around 500euros, normally not in fantastic shape but still relatively low mileages, I remember my dad used to have the hatchback version when I was young... fun memories

Owned many, many Skoda's - old and modern - I still feel more love for the Favorit and Felicias I had - something very honest about them, had a 94' Favorit that has 95k on the clock when I bought it, was still immaculate and bullet proof. Would love another but have to say, much as I love them, I think £7k is pushing it somewhat

This and the Foreman were the first Skodas offered in my country, back in 1994 I think it was. Great little cars, but since they were so inexpensive, they got roasted by second, third, fourth etc owners, until I can't recall when last I've seen one. I still do see the odd Felicia which followed, but those too are disappearing.

These were and still are shockingly badly designed and built cars, I would go as far as to say dangerous to drive on the public roads, yes very very clean and low mileage but in my opinion not worth quarter the asking price, having said all that people do buy worse cars and value is based on its non availability so I'm sure it will sell for the money no issues at all 👍

Designed by Bertone, with engineering assistance from Porsche. The Favorit was the turning point for Skoda and was the main reason for VW's keen interest in purchasing the company! Additionally, the Favorit was an outstandingly successful rally car.

I only spent years repairing the dam things for scoda so what would I know.🤣😅🤣😅 Anyways regardless of all my experience with them, I'm a believer everyone should do their own thing. If you love them cars that much and think they are fantastic, then why don't you give up your current car and go pay the 6 k for it? I myself can think of many cars which are better and more usable for that money. Happy Tuesday to you all 😊

@@m.b5084 Well I spent years owning and driving them and I cannot fathom at all what you're talking about - I never had a single fault across 2 Favorits and 4 Felicias and I never heard or read about anything remotely like 'your years of experience' - the only issue I was aware of was HGF on the VW 1.6? 'Shocking' and 'not fit for public roads' is ridiculous!
