| Briskodian  | Re: Lauren and Klement Vaclav Laurin and Vaclav Klement founded Slavia bicycles and motorcycles, later badged L&K, then in 1905 made their first car, the Voiturette Type A.In the 20's they merged with the Skoda works and all cars built until 1930 wore Skoda and Laurin & Klement badges.From 1930 all wore Skoda badges. The next car to weara n L&K badge was the Felicia back in 1995/6, then the octavia from 2000 onwards and Superb a few years later. I had a novel idea 17 years ago when my daughter was born - name her Estelle after a Skoda, so I did just that.Now I have 2 boys also, one is called Laurin, the other is called Klement. (Yes, I do have a very understanding partner - she has drawn the line at me calling any future kids Roomster or Yeti though!) |

My two boys are called Jack and Daniel - wonder where I got the idea for that from! PS Are you the Skorob that sells model Skodas on Ebay?

| Re: Lauren and Klement laurin and klement versions of the cars are special. Well at least for the felicia they were, They only made 200. 100 estates - 1 is mine. 1.6 VW 100 hatch's - 2 others on here. 1.3 skoda But they all had full leather trim, proper all leather. Apart from carpet and roof its leather. thats right door cards, and seats, steering wheel, handbrake, gear stick, etc. Sunroof alarm, immobliser central locking electric mirrors, windows, heated mirrors. heated seats mettalic blue purple green paint job. - very nice. 14" BBS alloys and a spare foglights colour matched bumpers and mirrors And many more things, but i can't remember. these differences back in 1995/96 would have been a top of the range car! and it was uber rare.

Yes, thats me! I used to sell the Abrex models, but the UK distributor stopped getting new stock so i packed it in as Abrex in CZ wanted too large an order for me to commit to.Im car_brochures_for_you now, just concentrating on car brochures and the odd Skoda related stuff. | |
