Default Re: Your First Car

1987 Skoda Estelle 130 Limited Edition Sport Homoligation car.

Factory fitted Dellorto 45mm carb, Ashley GroupA full exhaust system, Kent cam and Spax suspension. That was a proper quick little car, used to eat Ford XR's and Nova GTE's. Pain £100 for it, had it 4 months, rebuilt the engine 3 times due to headgasket failure (common problem), gasket went for the 4th time, I let the engine cook and go boom. Two weeks later I found out the "Sport" models were rare and at the time worth £2-£3000.. Oops!
