SKODA has reached a milestone with its most popular vehicle as the 750,000th Fabia rolled off the production line.

The stone-grey car was equipped with a 1.4-litre 75bhp engine and was ordered by a customer from Poland. The Fabia made its first appearance at the Frankfurt International Motor Show in 1999.

Vratislav Kulhánek, chairman of SkodaAuto, said: 'The Fabia has become the unchallenged best-selling car in the Czech Republic. Last year, a total of 264,641 Fabias were sold in Europe, 52,958 of them in the Czech Republic.'
