They are just TV stars.

They made 2 lots for some reason (it was there from begining), although it was advertised "sold as pair" throughout. Estimate 200k - 230k was for pair, but each lot had also 200k - 230k estimate. So I think 186k is for both cars on first lot and second lot just stay there, because whole am...

Also good result!

Found this. Back in 2012 another black 2.8i (Special in this case): £5,096. Those days are gone.

Not that long, I think. Try to find another parcel shelf in same condition. If somebody do complete mint restoration, he will have his £1000.

Hi Andrew,
few years back I tried to find something about Supersport and ended with same conclusion as you. It was market name, probably only in Netherlands, because all of them which I found had NL plates.

Here is another one:

Andrew.

Probably not. Today's world isn't ready for such a bombshell...

Tom

I think they will reach estimate easily.
Of course everybody from this forum will be bidding. Or not?


Tom

Hi,
I think rubber is the right way.
But when I changed anti-roll bar bushes on 2.8i, I couldn't find rubber bushes. So I use Powerflex Road series but Heritage collection. They are dark grey, so no weird purple things on suspension.

It would be great show!!!

Great article! Thanks Andrew.

Hi Andrew,
yes, it is historic car championship from Austria.
They race on various circuits around Europe and one of the races is luckily on Brno circuit, so around 60 miles from my home.


Tom

Hi Andrew, thanks. ;) Tatras are great, in my opinion Tatra is the best Czech car maker. But you are right, a lot of old Skodas here. It is always 50% of all cars on meetings. Yes, that Skoda 130LR is replica, but in fact it is replica of group S prototype (only one existing, if I am right). It has ...
