1990 Skoda Rapid RiC 1.3 Fuel Injected/Bendix

Summary:

A real sporty coupe and my dream car!

Faults:

The electronic fuel pump (AC) has a very strange noise when the ignition is on. It gives a clicking noise.

Seats have started to wear badly, new covers will be needed soon.

It will need some TLC, which would include welding on the drivers rear corner/sill, a small bump on the d/s/r bumper (very minor dent on body only noticed when you hunt for it), a small paint graze on the p/s/f arch touched in, and various rust patches, mainly front wings and rear arches etc.

General Comments:

I bought this car a month ago from the UK. It does benefit from being one of the very last off the production line of only a few living UK cars (and so being a rare car), with only a fraction of those being the limited edition model. This one is has the RiC (RiC stands for Rapid Injection Catalyst) fuel injection system.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
