The Skoda Felicia Fun Model History Page
The full history of the Skoda Felicia can be found HERE.
The name Skoda Felicia had been used before on a model produced between 1959 and 1964.The Skoda Felicia (Typ 791) that we are interested in was produced by Skoda Auto between 1994 and 2001. It was the last model to be produced on Skoda's own platform but was one of the first models to benefit from Skoda being taken over by the Volkswagen group. There was a Felicia Pickup variant (Typ 797) and a lifestyle edition called the Felicia Fun Pickup (Typ 796). The pickup variant was also marketed in some countries as the VW Caddy Pickup Mk2. It is common to see Skoda Felicia pickups advertised as being built by VW but this is not strictly true as it is actually the other way round ie: the VW Caddy Mk2 was built by Skoda (albeit after VW group had taken over the company). They do however include some VW parts including engines from the VW parts bin. The Skoda Felicia Fun Pickup was a special edition model produced mainly for the Western European market. It was built at the Skoda factory in Vrchlabí, Czech Republic. The first prototypes of the Skoda Felicia Fun were produced in 1996 and full production took place between 1997 to 2001. Circa 4016 units were produced of which 612 were right hand drive models for the UK market. Originally only circa 300 were to be built for the UK market but it so popular that production was increased. The main difference between the normal Felica pickup and the Felicia Fun pickup was that on the Felicia Fun the rear screen bulkhead section could be moved out into the pickup load bay, allowing an extra rear passenger seat to be folded out, giving comfortable seating for four adults. A rear canvas roof and frame was also available to cover the rear seats, which would otherwise be open to the elements. A Truckman hard top was also available which enclosed the rear seats and load bay, making for a more practical bad weather conversion. There were also other model specific changes including body kit and bumpers, interior upholstery, wheels etc that will be discussed in more detail below.

4)Skoda Felicia Fun Pickup Van Interior Specification
The Skoda Felicia Fun Pick Up Truck Interior Layout consisted of:
Two Seater Configuration:
Four Seater Configuration:
Rear bulkhead slides backwards into pickup bed and rear passenger seat folds out.
Drivers seat, Passenger Seats and Door and Interior Trim
Two versions were available.
On the majority of the UK cars the front seat bolsters and headrests are trimmed with yellow leather side bolsters with a cloth centre panel. The cloth is grey with a yellow frog prince logo. The door trims match the seats with a yellow leather armrest and grey plastic surround.
Also on non UK cars (and possibly a small number of UK cars) a cloth version with no leather was available. This used a mixture of yellow and grey material with the frog prince emblem. The doors were trimmed in the same yellow material as used on the seats.
The fold out rear seat used the same grey cloth with yellow frog prince motif. Headrests used both grey and yellow cloth with frog prince motif.
The hand brake, gear stick and steering wheel were also trimmed with yellow leather. Photo also shows centre storage console with drink holders.
The dashboard clocks were also given the yellow touch ;-)
I believe the standard stereo supplied for UK and German models was the Blaupunkt Casablanca RCM 85 Cassette radio. Possibly also the Grundig MS 201 as well depending on the year. If you have a picture of the Grundig MS 201 in situ please send me a copy and I will add to the site ;-)
I have also seen fitted in some the Blaupunkt Sevilla RDM 168 CD Radio or the Blaupunkt RD 148 Lausanne CD Radio which may have been available as optional extras or fitted after market due to their yellow front ;-)
