BOUNCING CZECH
Was another accolade bestowed upon the Skoda Estelle. Notice the cooling grille on the rear panel above and parallel to the rear bumper.
There was a slight design fault associated with this grille, as behind this and slightly above it lived the distributor. If it was a wet day and the wind was blowing towards the rear of the car, the distributor could get wet, then the wretched thing would not start. However a quick burst with a can of WD40, would restore normality again.
If I was on early turn (I was working in Doncaster Control then) I used to park the car with its rear end up against the garage door, to ensure this did not happen.
My overall impression of the Skoda Estelle was that it was a competent no frills way of getting around. It had few faults and did most things satisfactorily. During the time I had it, I remember it as reliable and did what was required of it without any dramas.
