Even during the successful competition career of the Škoda 130 RS, intensive work was already under way on its successor. One option was to adapt the forthcoming Type 743 series (the Garde and Rapid models). Between 1979 and 1980, three prototypes were therefore created on the Škoda 130 RS chassis, each with differently designed front and rear body sections. The example in the Škoda Museum collection is the fourth and final prototype, built in Kvasiny in 1985.
