Skoda fun pickup

[S1g 579]

Aqquired this little beauty a couple of weeks ago. Had one. Few years back and allways regretted selling it. It's a 2001 model with only 49k on the clock.

That's nice Gareth  , will you be respraying it orange ??   Only joking mate...

[S1g 579]

No, definatley staying yellow. Hope I can keep this one.

Second photo is my previous one, nowhere near as nice.

Only a 1600 polo engine. Am toying with dropping in a 1.9tdi out of a golf. The white one has allready got the normally asperated 1.9 diesel.

Thanks paul, only involved a 660 mile round trip to north of Dumfries to get it, but I'd never seen one so tidy. Only just over 300 left on the road now.

So is this one a keeper then Gareth ??

hopefully will be, at least until I've finished all the miles of welding on my subaru. The four seater part is particuarly nice in the hot weather we are experiencing at the moment.

Nice pickup.   I assume the rear seats slide forward and form the rear of the cab. Neat idea if so.

Well worth the 600 miles trip to collect .

yes, turns almost into a standard mk 2 caddy/felicia.

it was worth it but I wouldn't do it in a single day again, I would split it over two instead, particuarly in a pickup.

That's a rather nice sports pick-up wagon Gareth, lovin the idea of putting a 1.9Tdi engine in it

And a towbar on its bum for a nice big trailer !!

its allready got a detachable tow bar fitted but I've only got the new type licence which restricts what I can tow. My 17th was the the 23rd march 97 and they changed the law on the 1st. How's that or bad luck?

a mate of mine breaks cars for a living so I've asked to give me first dibs on any mk3 golfs he gets in, should keep the wiring simple.

As long as you can tow something to a show Gareth that makes it an even more useful vehicle...

[S1g 579]

Just managed to buy a set of original alloys off ebay that were unfourtantley missing from my example. This time only involves an 80 mile round trip to collect. Should look something like this once repainted. The other item that arrived yesterday is a leather recolouring kit for the steering wheel as this is the one area that lets the truck down.

Theres a few things going on at my work at the moment (including a move) once sorted I'm hopping my boss will pay for me to take my trailer test and 7.5 tonner.

Very nice, carry handle too

[S1g 579]

Due to unforeseen circumstances I'm regrettably going to have to part with my beloved little truck. Now only on 52k ( one of the reasons I'm selling it is lack of use). Before I let the vultures on ebay have a go I thought I'd give forum members first dibs. Will come with brand new mot, cambelt was changed only a few thousand ago and has lots of old mots to back up the almost unbelievable millage. 3 sets of alloys included along with the private number plate. I feel confident in saying this is one of the best examples left, and I'm 99% certain it's never had any paint work in its life.
