Description
The Škoda 130 RS is among the most valuable and technically remarkable cars ever produced by the Mladá Boleslav-based automaker. Homologated in the mid-1970s as a purebred competition special for both rallying and circuit racing, it became famous for its exceptionally low weight, achieved through extensive use of aluminium and glass-fibre composite materials, as well as its precisely tuned engineering. It successfully competed on the international scene, including a class victory in the 1977 Monte Carlo Rally. Thanks to its limited production run and the significant amount of hand-built work involved, every example is unique to a certain extent; the car therefore remains attractive not only to collectors but also to specialists who appreciate the authentic technical logic of Czechoslovak racing engineering of the period. This 1978 example uses a proven engine block bored out for 1, 289 cm³ homologation, complemented by a cast-iron 130 RS cylinder head with AT14 markings, dry-sump lubrication, a low magnesium sump and internal coolant routing. The bodywork is in very good workshop condition with long-established patina; the roof and bonnet are aluminium, and the copper front radiator corresponds to the model’s original specification. The rear suspension arms are genuine rally-specification components. The four-speed Hewland gearbox corresponds to the period racing equipment. The braking system consists of four-piston Girling front calipers and rear drums. In 2023, the brakes underwent a complete inspection, new racing front pads were fitted, the rear brakes were cleaned, the Weber 45 carburettors were rebuilt and adjusted, the fuel lines were replaced, and medium-specification rally tyres were fitted. The car comes with its original technical certificate, including factory exemptions, and documented racing history. Veteráni na Truc: a group of ordinary people who love cars.
