New and Used Skoda Information:
In the Christmas week of 1895 Mr Vaclav Laurin, a mechanic, and Mr Vaclav Klement, a bookseller, started producing Slavia bicycles. By 1899, Laurin & Klement had started to produce motorcycles which gained numerous successes from international competitions.
The first new car produced, the Skoda Voiturette A, became a best-seller and later became a Czech classic car. Soon it gained a stable position for Laurin & Klement in the international car market. Between 1911 and the start of the first world war, three years later, more than 600 of the S-line automobiles were made -an unheard of level of production at the time.
In 1925 the merger with Skoda took place, ending the Laurin & Klement name. The Skoda company had a strong manufacturing background, primarily through engines and industrial products, but also through early luxury cars. The Hispano Suiza was at the pinnacle of automotive technology and at the time was the most expensive and luxurious car ever made in Czechoslovakia.
Intensive design work in the early 1930’s was used and culminated in the radical Skoda 420, putting the technology of Skoda dozens of years ahead of many well-known European car manufacturers. The Popular later replaced the 420. In 1934, the luxury model Skoda Superb was launched providing a top speed of 110 kph, the Superb was a long term success and was produced until 1949.
