 Since selling my American pickup I've been looking for a small European pickup to run around in taking stuff to the dump etc. I was looking at Vauxhall brava, Toyota hilux, L200 etc. Most had 2 seats a few with bench seat unless you go for double, King or half cab. But then I came across a Skoda felicia fun. I biddef on it but missed out. I then found one painted non original red which I bought. |

That really suits the red. Looks lower than standard too?

Love it and looks way better in another colour instead of the dodgy original yellow. Such cool little cars, the way the back seats fold out is so simple but inspired!

I like the idea of these, but wonder about the practicality side of things.
What's the score with the back seats? When they're pulled out is there any weather protection?

Disagree with the colour, especially as the interior is still yellow but each to their own - if we were all the same, the world would be really boring.
Ref weather protection - essentially no, but as long as you're going 30mph or so the rain just goes over the top. I've had mine open in all weathers. Even been 4 up with a load of mountaineering gear in the back in the middle of winter when well below zero. Fun is the word !

Second set of wheels look much better. If that's fit a couple of 29er MTB in the back, be exactly what I wanted. |

Great little pickups.
I used mine a bit for mountain bikes. They fit diagonally and length wise if the front wheel is off or bed down.
How is the area above the rear turrets? People are great at hiding the rust there with filler but always cracks up.
If you get wet feet it's often from the Area inside the screen rubber growing some tin worm.
Red with black wheels looks great.

The pull out seats in these things are awesome, I have considered them a few times.
Are these effectively the same as the MK2 caddy van/seat inca?

No they're based on the Felicia whereas the Inca and Caddy van are based on the VW 6k chassis. Confusingly though they did sell a rebadged version of the Skoda Pickup as a VW Caddy |

Was that the skoda cube?
A chap up my road has one of these in yellow, actually every car he owns is the same shade of bright yellow. I've always been keen on them but they seem to demand quite a high price. What engine is in this?

I had one of these in the standard yellow. I did have the added luxury of the truckman type top...    And teddy bear wheels! Excellent little pick up, I've Benn considering buying another! |
