Director of Škoda Auto, Rob Tracey, said, "25,000 vehicle sales is
a significant landmark for Škoda. We have now exceeded our 1999 sales result
by almost two thousand vehicles, and we expect our year end result to show an
overall 25 per cent increase. I am delighted that so many people are discovering
the advantages of driving our cars".
October also saw the Fabia, Car of the Year 2000, take over as Škoda’s
best seller in the UK, with 9436 Fabias sold since its launch in March this
year. Felicia was also a strong contender with 8150 sales, followed by 6572
