Among the 148 Škoda Auto entries in the MotorJury library, the Škoda 110 R holds its own page in a catalogue built to record every car ever made, from series production to one-off concepts. The record places its introduction in 1970. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.
To read the Škoda 110 R properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 1970s were the decade the oil crises rewired the industry — emissions rules, safety bumpers and fuel economy suddenly mattered as much as horsepower, and Japanese manufacturers went global. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the American Motors Corporation AMC Gremlin, the Suzuki Motor Corporation Suzuki Jimny, the Chevrolet Chevrolet Impala — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.
On paper, the Škoda 110 R reads like this: the record lists its engine as 1107 cc I4, OHV; kerb weight is recorded at 880 kg; drive goes through 4-speed manual; the layout is RR layout. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear. Production is recorded at 56,902 units, which makes it a solid production run.
Within Škoda Auto's own catalogue the Škoda 110 R sits alongside the HZS-1, the Trekka, the ÚVMV 1100 GT, the Škoda 100. The record names the Škoda 1000 MBX / 1100 MBX as its predecessor and the Škoda Garde as its successor, fixing its place in the model line's chronology. Assembly is recorded at Czechoslovakia: Kvasiny.
This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.
Most car databases stop at series production. This one deliberately does not, because concept cars, racing specials and cancelled prototypes are where the industry thinks out loud — the ideas tested in public years before they reach a showroom. Holding them beside the production cars they inspired makes the lineage legible: nearly every landmark road car in this library has a concept ancestor somewhere in the catalogue, and the connections run through the era links on every page.
A specification sheet is only half a car's story. The other half — what breaks, what it costs to keep, which years to avoid — lives in MotorJury's ownership database, computed nightly from federal complaint and recall records and EPA economy data. Where the Škoda 110 R was sold in the United States, its model years carry full ownership verdicts there.
Specifications come from the Wikipedia infobox for this model (CC BY-SA) and the open Wikidata record, and are shown only where a source actually carries them — nothing here is estimated. Figures are manufacturer specifications, not measured results.
