Split_Pin Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I remember them from a holiday in Portugal in the mid 90's, when I went on a 'Jeep' safari-type-thing.I think the engine is under the bulkhead IIRC??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRegieRitmo Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Great spot.....but Umm - I think this has also gotta be a contender!..... Thats cool as you like, even comes with 'DACIA' Overalls! Well worth 250 if you ask me. No arse end shots BS6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 My Duster was a pretty awful car....Yet I kinda liked it....Wierd, huh? Often wish I'd gone for the "Roadster" instead of the estate though....Still crap, but more fun! I was offered a UMM Alter like that (but red) F.O.C. about five years ago....Just in need of a replacement Peugeot engine, otherwise looking pretty good....I had a driveway full at the time, so had to decline!

andrew e Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 The UMM is where the phrase "Portugeuese hand pump" comes from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuvvum Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I saw one o' them on the A47 on the way back from Peterborough a couple of weeks ago. White one it was. Looked in pretty good nick too. Other than that I haven't seen any right-hookers for a very long while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 That's wonderful. You can almost see it laughing in the face of doors or any other form of luxury! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milford Cubicle Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 3 wipers! My overwhelming memory of these is a local gamekeeper owning one from new up until about the mid '90s, by then ravaged by rust. I'm surprised any still survive.But I've seen Subaru MVs in a similar state and plenty of them survive in decent condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross_K Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Oustanding. I love the round pin 13A socket and the ignition wire dangling down from under the dash. GR8 4 HOTWIRING (AND A HOT CUPPA ON THE GO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
