Development of the new front-engined, front-wheel-drive Škoda Favorit began as early as 1979 under the designation Škoda 781. Two study samples (SV), two functional samples (FV) and four repeated prototypes (OP) were built. The vehicle on display is the second functional sample. It was produced in a two-tone De Luxe specification and covered more than 90,000 kilometres during testing.
