In this special Motor283 Classics episode, the team travels to Czechia to experience 130 years of Skoda heritage in the most unforgettable way possible. The journey begins behind the wheel of a 1926 Skoda, where the wide windows, simple mechanics, and charming vintage feel instantly transport you to another era. The episode captures how the past and present meet on the Czech countryside roads as the crew relives the early days of European automotive craftsmanship. From the scenery to the authentic sounds of the century old engine, this segment highlights how far the brand has come while preserving its spirit.
The adventure continues inside the historic Skoda Museum, built on the same site where the brand began with bicycles, motorcycles, and eventually its first car in 1905. Viewers explore rare prototypes, early racing models, and landmark vehicles like the 1936 Superb, which Motor283 also drives in the episode. The museum walk reveals how Laurin and Klement shaped the company, how Skoda joined the Volkswagen Group, and how its designs progressed from early mechanical ingenuity to modern innovation. The segment blends history, storytelling, and heritage in a way that brings every decade to life.
