At the end of November 2022, the Prague-based Grada Publishing published a new book, "The Legendary Škoda 105/120 and its Siblings", authored by Motor Journal's regular collaborator Jan Tuček. The publication is dedicated to the last generation of Škoda cars with a rear engine, the Š 105/120/130 model series, the production of which exceeded two million cars between 1976 and 1990. It recalls the four-door sedans and the two-door coupes Garde and Rapid, their development, production and gradual modernization. There is a detailed overview of the production of these cars in individual years. The book also maps a diverse range of now almost forgotten variants and prototypes of various concepts built on the basis of the Š 742 and Š 743 cars in Mladá Boleslav, Kvasiny and Bratislava. Separate chapters are devoted to the conversions of Rapid coupés into convertibles in Germany, Great Britain, Denmark, Canada and in the Czech Republic, as well as to the sports use of cars of this series. 352 illustrations (photographs, brochures, drawings and transparent drawings), of which 226 are in color

The author knew more than thirty-three years ago that the long and, above all, thorny path of development and production of the Favorit passenger car was worth carefully documenting. He had to reject the ideas of that time, he waited and waited! Developing anything new while trying to comply with the extensive tangle of many restrictions and prohibitions resulting from completely meaningless regulations was completely impossible during the years of normalization. Even though the original idea to produce a new type of passenger car within the framework of the Common Market came from the highest party positions. But the design tendencies of world car manufacturers indicated significantly different solutions from the originally intended ones. The gradual development, sometimes even illegal, was taken up by the administrative people in Mladá Boleslav. The amount of work with development and then with the preparation of production was unimaginable, but the people were enthusiastic. The most energy and time was taken up by the battles with the „windmills“ – at that time in the form of the state apparatus. When the Favorit was put into production, the leaders were melting in superlatives. Just like Ing. Andrej Barčák, then director of the PZO Motokov business group: "The Favorit was a groundbreaking project for Škoda. Škoda designed and then produced a car comparable to their European competition under significantly worse conditions. At the beginning, there were just a lot of restrictions, nothing was approved, big risks were taken, but Škoda had no reason to be ashamed of the result."„
