just got back from picking the Rapid up.    needs a general tidy up, possibly a respray, suffering from faded Regal Red syndrome, drives well, not as quick as my other Rapid but has potential, came with loads of spares and an aluminium trailer, all for £450 Is a 1994 L reg, and states on V5, declared manufactured 1994, although production stopped 89/90  |

How did that work then? Were they sitting around in storage yards in the UK waiting to be registered for four years? Or did they import unsold cars to order and register them when they came into the country?

got a set of 13" minilights i might fit or a set of 15" Proline steels that may end up on there.
The paintwork is to far gone for T cut (common problem with Regal Red), plus there are a couple of bits of bodywork that need doing.

Either set of wheels would probably set it off either way! |

wow, thats ace. has it been converted to carb from injection? it must be a bonus finding one with some tuning goodies already on as ive neer seen any for sale. Whatis it like getting tuning bits? [he says rubbiing his hands together noticing his red shuv is nearly ready leaing tie for a project!]

was originally a 136 engine with a carb, but has had the engine replaced with the modified 135 lump, all parts are a straight swap over to refit carb rather than injection. Tuning parts are fairly easy to get, if you know where to look... www.skofast.com/is a good place to start, and John aka 'Skoda God' can find just about anything. |

A fine car, for a good price. Well done that man!  How easy is it to convert these things into a mid engined car? |

i would have thought it would be quite easy, a mate of mine fitted a mid mounted Fiat twin cam to a Rapid a few yrs ago.
To be honest though, the cars are too rare now to consider a conversion like that, as there are only 44 Rapids currently taxed in use in the UK
