Skoda Felicia I Fun (797) 1.3 (68 Hp)

Skoda Felicia:

The Škoda Felicia is a B-segment car produced by the Czech carmaker Škoda Auto from 1994 to 2001. It was the last model on Škoda's own platform, but was one of the first models to benefit from Škoda Auto's takeover by the German company Volkswagen Group. The Felicia was a heavily reworked version of the Favorit, retaining its core structure but with new outer panelwork to give it a fresh, more modern appearance, with a redesigned front end and a wider range of VW-sourced engines....(Read more on Wikipedia)

I bought a 1997 Skoda Felicia for 700€. It literally broke into pieces during the 5 months I had it. A complete waste of money.

You can still buy the regular Skoda Felicia or VW Caddy MK2 for probably fuck all now, they're not at all desirable. But the Fun really is a next level weirdness, that I can't believe is safe enough to be on the roads!

There are a few different definitions of classic cars, but its all subjective really Purists would say a Modern Classic has to be built between 1970 and 1990, or some would say that to be counted as a Classic car it needs to be between 20 and 40 years old Others say a Classic a car needs to be at least 15 years old and have something about it that sets it apart from other cars, generally some combination of rare, desirable, luxurious, fast, unique, beautiful or just in really good condition My opinion is that if you think it has value as a classic that is all that matters For the Skoda Felicia in particular it would probably be more likely to be accepted as a classic by the car community if it is a rarer model, like the pickup or convertible versions or a really high spec model
