FactAt £579 in Britain in 1965, the 1000 MB undercut a Ford Cortina 1200 on price.
The Škoda 1000 MB and 1100 MB are two rear-engined, rear-wheel drive small family cars produced by the Czechoslovak manufacturer AZNP (Škoda Auto) in Mladá Boleslav between 1964 and 1969, the 2-door coupé versions being called the 1000 MBX and 1100 MBX. The 1000 MB (the letters MB being the initials of Mladá Boleslav) made its debut in April 1964 as the successor of the Škoda Octavia, beginning what would evolve into a long line of rear-engined Škodas. Its engine was a 988 cc, 4-cylinder, overhead valve unit, water-cooled with an aluminium cylinder block and cast iron cylinder head, driving through a four-speed all-synchromesh gearbox, with all-round independent suspension and swing axle rear suspension. It was highly successful for the Škoda Works and the Czechoslovak economy, and by early 1965 the British were receiving it at £579, cheaper than similarly sized domestic saloons like the Ford Cortina 1200 and Hillman Minx Deluxe; it was replaced by the Škoda 100 and 110 in August 1969 after 443,141 had been built. The MBX series was produced in very limited numbers (2,517 in total).

The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
