Wow lots of lovely cars. And I see from the time stamps it took you 80 minutes to put them all up. Thanks

That looks to be an impressive place, thanks for sharing your photos with us.

Later model Favorit Combi.

That's curious, not because of the headlamps, but the engine. That looks to be a 1600 petrol to me which was not fitted to the Favorit.

The guide said it was a very late model run out edition , maybe the engine options were ditterent in Europe?

Great photos , they have really improved it recently. Back in 1992 when I first went it was little more than a small hall with 2 rows of cars in straight lines. The guides were all retired workers from the factory and they were more interested in our right hand drive estelle than the vintage models inside

The guides now are young pretty girls who come across very intellegent and knowledgeable - and yes it really is an impressive place to visit. Its just a shame you cant take pics in the factory as whatching the Octavias trundle along the line fascinated me!

ah now THAT sounds like a great upgrade. Shame though the old boys were fascinating to speak to - well it a was entertaining having a conversation in pigeon Czech mixed with schoolboy German

Lol well now they have guides that speak English , German , and of course they will all speak Czech - if you go on the coach trip from Prague they split you up into the language groups and you go around with your respective guide (including to the engine ,gearbox and either Fabia or Octavia shops in the factory) then meet up afterwards outside the Autosalon which is basically a dealership without the salesmen and prices on display!
