    What platform is this built off of. US don't deserve Skoda. But we might manage with this as a Jetta wagon.

    @Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: It's a size bigger, so it's based on the Passat floor pan, which is basically an extended Golf.

    These things are going to be everywhere soon, as they are hugely popular as Taxi's. Basically the proven reliability of a VW without the added cost and with bigger interiors. Just don't expect to see many rocking a V6.

    Drove an Octavia with the 1.9 diesel a few years ago as a rental. Put about 1K mi on it, and I couldn't have been more impressed. It seemed to have been made by people who understand what you can do without on a cheap car without making it feel cheap. I was seriously shocked that those people worked for VW.

    Saw one walking past Trafalgar Square on my way home. Looked good, and more special (as in rare) than Audis and BMWs.

    With that much detail, those are probably indecent photographs of a Minor. Good thing you can claim that they're artistic.

    This may be the first car I ever rode in. My father overheated his while racing a colleague in Ireland and it seized while he was coming down a hill into town. He stopped and got water from a garage, poured it in, waited an hour, then started it and drove off with a clattery but operating motor.

    Scary to say, but this is what the PT Cruiser could have been. Simple, utilitarian. And a real truck, not a Neon platform with a retro truck-like body. I swear, some people don't need all the bells and whistles of modern technology. Give me A/C and a good stereo to play my classic rock and I'm a happy camper.

    You can see so much pavement, it looks like the wee engine is just hovering in the engine bay.

    And who knows, maybe the Lucas electrics will work perfectly ok with a matching Lucas battery.

    In any case, this guy (extra props for Dai Hard) really has got a fabulous ride here.

    The English drink warm beer because they have Lucas refrigerators. The snail bumper sticker is entirely appropriate for the performance. I hope the buyer enjoys his toy - I don't envy him one bit, nor do I envy the fun of replacing and upkeep of the wood trim. This one is from near the end of the Minor's lifespan (1971). Hopefully, BMC/British Leyland learned how to screw these things together decently by then - it had only 21 years of practice...

    With 90 miles per hour printed on the gauge face, two thirds of that speedometer could be considered to be New Old Stock.

    This car shows what was seriously wrong with the British Auto Industry. It looks, and is probably engineered, about like the cars the United States made in the 1930s and 40s.
