Birth of the 105 S – 1976 Launch
The Škoda 105 S was introduced in 1976 as part of the Škoda 742 series. Its nickname, “The People's Workhorse,” highlighted its role as a reliable, affordable family car.
A Production Run Backed by the 742 Legacy
The 105 S was produced from 1976 until 1983, sharing its platform with the broader Škoda 742/746 family. Over two million units of the 742 type were built during its 14‑year run, underscoring the popularity of the platform that the 105 inherited.

Even after the original S model’s production ended, Škoda kept the 105 alive with the 105 Lux version seen in 1988. Owners of this later model often refreshed key components such as king pins, tie‑rod ends, rear axle boots, and the fuel sender unit.
