mattblack Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Renault 20 not shite enough for you? In the very early 1980s, the Renault 20 was also assembled as the Dacia 2000; because of the exclusivity of this model numbers were always very limited. The 2000 was only available in dark blue or black, and was reserved for the Party elite.
trigger Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 I wonder how many shite points that would be worth?!
morris_ital_lover Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Please step into my Dacia 2000, it might be the last ca rjourney you'll ever make but it's much nice than your repopped Reanult 12. As for shite points, that's got to be up there with the Tagora.
Split_Pin Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 If you saw one of these in your mirror you knew to get out of the way then!
Luxobarges_Are_Us Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Are there any survivors, or is there just one of them in a museum somewhere in Iasi or whatever? I 'd quite like to explore the possibility of buying one- like I have done with late Tatras, which cost an arm and a bloody leg.
RENOMAD Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Does that mean a supply of sub standard new parts from Romania that would fit a 20?
hairnet Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 how far back does their assoc with renault go?? ps WANT.
Albert Ross Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 1966 apparently, starting with the R8/Dacia 1100. (Well... according to Wiki anyhoo)
morris_ital_lover Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Incidentally it appears that the Renault 8 was the dictator's token car industry local produce of choice being produced the the Bulgarrenault, the Dacia 1100 and in Spain... GR9 4 FACISTS 'N COMMIES. My understanding of the Dacia 2000 was that it was much like the large Volgas. They were cars for party officials and those that would make sure that you were being a true communist and if you weren't would take you away to "reform" you. Seeing as they were produced in small numbers anyhow, by a rubbish workforce who were meeting quantity not quality targets and were possibly the vehicular focus of the peoples' absolute hatred of the misery Ceacescu's regime during the 1980s I'd put the chances of them surviving in any numbers past 1989 as limited and the possibility that they exist in anything about low three figure numbers as being less likely than finding an honest politician. Fook knows what they are saying but I've found a thread on a romanian car forum about them; http://forum.4tuning.ro/27-discutii-gen ... -stie.html
Adrian_pt Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 To be fair not more than a couple of hundred at most were ever made, all of which were official cars for senior officials, 3 or 4 per county and a few more in Bucharest. They were introduced after a 1979 decree which made the State sell off all of its cars bigger than 2-litres - which resulted in all the interesting Jags, Mercs, Jeeps and Oepl Admirals being sold off, as well as a lot of Volgas. After the Revolution some Dacia 2000 models ended up being cabs for the Intercontinental hotel in Bucharest. Estimate about 10-15 survivors. None in museums as Romania does't have a car museum; and they were never exported. It's not gone the way of a few other Romanian cars into total extinction but not far off...
Negative Creep Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 GR3 4 AVOYDIN FIRING SQUADZ - oh wait, maybe not.....

I guess it was part of Ceaucescu's drive for complete independence, and a chance to make a few quid by flogging the posh cars!Surprised they have no motor museum though, they seem quite proud of the old Dacias.
ChinaTom Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Looks like they had a crack by themselves. then hammered a 12 over it... then applied a sanding block biscuit = taken.
