The 743 type, a two-door coupe derived from the 742, was produced from 1981 in the plant in Kvasiny under the Garde name, and was later (after the introduction of improvements from the ŠKODA 130 model) renamed the Rapid.
After May 1982, the Garde was also assembled in Bratislava car plants – becoming the first mass-produced car in Slovakia.
In total, 11,179 of these vehicles were produced.

Skoda
The origin of Skoda Auto goes back to 1895. Václav Laurin, a mechanic, and Václav Klement, book-seller, both shared a passion for bicycles. When Klement tried to get spare parts to fix is bicycle and wrote to the manufacturer in Czech, he got an unfawl reply asking him to write in a language they could understand. In that moment, the two Czechs founded Laurin & Klement and started to produce bicycles under the patriotic name: Slavia.
