2003 Skoda Octavia vRS WRC - NO LONGER FOR SALE

VRSPhil · 30-12-2007, 18:26

After much contemplation, I have decided to sell my vRS WRC.

The car was first registered in January 2003 (the 15th I believe) and is on a 52 plate.

For those of you who have not come across the WRC, it was a 100-off special edition which was released by Skoda to mark 100 years in motorsport.

Usual vRS Spec plus lots of extras:

- Xenon Headlights
- Electronic stability program (ESP)
- Traction control
- Cruise control
- Climate control
- Heated, half leather sports seats
- 6 CD auto changer
- Side airbags
- Alarm and immobiliser
- Rear parking sensors
- 'cat vision' interior lighting + rear courtesy lights
- Whiteline rear anti-roll bar

As you would expect of a car like this, it has been lovingly maintained with regular coats of high quality wax. The oil has been changed every 5,000 miles since I bought it (it was on 29,000 miles when I collected it and is now showing 67,500). I have always used high quality, fully synthetic oil (Castrol edge or Mobil 1) along with genuine filters. The cam belt was changed in July/august along with a metal water pump and rollers/tensioner and auxiliary belt.

The interior is as new condition with no marks, rips, scuffs, scratches or holes. The exterior is also excellent condition with the only damage being the usual stone chips along the leading edges.

This is number 63 of 100... I am let to believe that around 25 of the 100 were made in UK spec, and many of those have now been 'de-stickered', molested or written off.

Note: You are more than welcome to come and view/test drive the car (by appointment only, please) but please do not waste my time - no test pilots!.

There is a slight knock on the front near-side suspension which I will be resolving before I hand the car over - I suspect it's a drop link or a ball joint - either way, the offending part will be replaced with a new, genuine Skoda item as soon as businesses get back to normal in the new year.

Any questions, please contact me via PM. I am selling for personal reasons - if I could keep it, I would.

Now £7250 ono

Thanks.

P.S. Interior pictures will be added over the next few days.

Having seen this car in the flesh it is a very nice example and a credit to Phil's ownership. Hopefully it will go to a good owner.

Good luck with the sale Phil.

Cheers

It's a lovely car and I would buy it if I could

I'd love to own one of these and I'd have looked for one if I knew they existed when I bought my Octy!
Bit far away for me though, sorry!

I'll meet you half way?

The suspension knock has now been repaired. The nearside bottom ball joint rubber had been ripped, allowing water into the joint which had killed it. New genuine Skoda item now fitted
