I spent Christmas in Prague, which provided ample retro-spotting opportunities. Mk1 'tina street ornament:   Subway Skoda (parked right opposite the Cortina) - what model is this?:   Opel Rekord taxi:  Mk2 Astra GTE/Kadett E GSi - not styled to my taste but it really reminded me how much I love the shape of these things:  Ford F-100:  Stretched Trabant:  Cartooned 2CV:  Massive old Skoda - again, what model is this?:  Not retro, but I thought this Chevrolet was gorgeous:   All in all a pretty good place for a...  ...see what I did there, etc?  |

Ooh Oooh, I don;t know my SKODA's too well but.. I'm going to take a guess...
S110 Coupe? Or is it S110R?
and the bottom one I'm going to say Felicia???
I would investigate via Google but a few random guesses can't hurt to test the ol' noggin.

The mk1 tina and Skoda are both parked up on a junction along Wenceslas Square so you can't really miss them, and then the Ford truck and the limo Trabbie are parked up together near the old town square. None of them seem to ever move - they are used for advertising - and both locations are major tourist places to visit, hence all the pics! |

Toy: 2001 Porsche Boxster S - almost retro!
Daily: Modern BMW 435i - less exciting but quick!

I'm surprised that the S110R is used for advertising...it looks a bit pants really doesn't it. In the UK the rarity factor would make it more worthy, but even then it's a bit too tatty to be linked with a restaurant!
That said, there is that pub in Suffolk (it's near Scrapingscrap's gaff in Bungay) that has a signwritten Lada isn't there!

agreed, the s110 is a bit ratty, needs a good tarting up at least with fresh wheels. over there they aren't rare, its even below the rarity of using say a rover 220 coupe here..
