5 Rare Barn Find Communist 911 Carreras – Can We Save Them?

From The Late Brake Show.

5 Rare Barn Find Communist 911 Carreras – Can We Save Them? In this barnfind episode Jonny Smith visits James in Rutland whose late Dad loved a rear engined, rear-wheel drive basic car from the former communist Czechoslovakia. There are five Skodas on site; some abandoned, some kept dry. The two rarest are an extremely unusual coupe and coach built convertible. Will they run?
