2000 Skoda Felicia Fun Pick-up
Desirable
example showing just 53,454 miles with hard-to find and valuable Truckman rear
canopy; lowered suspension
Dating from August
2000, this versatile Skoda Felicia Fun pick-up is of course, finished in yellow
with half yellow leather interior and a pair of hidden, fold out rear seats –
ideal for kids and summer use.
Under the
bonnet, we find the 74bhp 1.6-litre 8-valve Mpi engine offered in the ‘Fun’
variant, driving the front wheels via 5-speed manual
transmission.
Perceived as a ‘Lifestyle’
choice, the Felicia Pick-up was a little outside of VW’s usual thinking at the
time, with a limited run of 3,000 planned for the UK, however so popular was it,
that 4,000 ended up being sold here.
This
example comes to us from an enthusiast of this model, the other example in the
sale also hailing from the same source in Scotland and both are in a similar
state with similarly low mileages.
Showing just
53,454 miles the pick-up features the desirable Truckman rear load area cover
although the rear window is missing. Requiring a degree of cosmetic improvement,
the truck could be used ‘as is’ or improved cosmetically to really become
something special. Riding on its
original wheels, we note the vehicle has been lowered giving it improved stance
and presence although the ride is likely to be firmer than normal, but nothing a
set of stock springs wont likely sort out if its not your
thing.
The
history file includes the V5C showing six former keepers and an MOT valid until
28th May 2022 recording three advisories - two brake pipes
corroded or covered in grease/other material and a third for corrosion to
the inner arch near the suspension mounting point. There are an impressive 17
old MOTs which support the lower mileage, handbook, period sales media, info on
the aftermarket tonneau covers and a host of invoices for parts and maintenance
dating back to 2004. It had a new battery in Nov-21, timing belt change and new
exhaust in April 2012 at 22,873 miles and its most recently documented oil
change and rocker cover gasket in August 2015.
Lots of Fun potential for sure and an interesting investment given
what these oddities have been making in recent times it looks an enticing
prospect.
