Made it in life: Dacia Denem

[Sam Glover]

I'm not usually one to boast, gasconade, bluster, showboat or toss-on about new acquisitions, but...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[RedSparrow]

May I be the first to say that it truly awful and I love it! Can I ask where you found it?

Pure rocking horse shit.

[406V6]

Blimey, that's a score and looks in good nick in the pics. Tell us the story of where and how you found it.....

[Volksy]

Fantastic!

So glad one of these survives, where on earth did you find it??

[Vin]

Bloody Hell That is amazing - must be one of the only ones left...(I mean in RHD obv)

 

You just need an RHD estate now to go with it. I'm sure you can find one

[hairnet]

love it

[trigger]

We have a winner!! I didn't know there was even any left, what's the story behind it Sam?

[M'coli]

Wow.

 

Just wow.

 

The last time i saw one of these - the only time I've seen one of these - was at the Gallowgate auctions in Glasgow, about 1991.

 

Autoshite is now complete.

Fantastic Sam, well done

[CortinaDave]

Awesome

[Sam Glover]

Its acquisition it was almost disappointingly easy.

 

I've been looking for one in a desultory sort of way for at least five years, with no promising leads at all. Then, during a rare visit to the Renault Owners Club group on Twitbook, I spotted it lurking in an Northern Irish barn behind a Renault 12TS. The chap that posted the picture sent me the owner's phone number. He turned out to be a thoroughly good egg - and a Dacia pervert to boot. He agreed to sell it, and was even so good as to arrange transport to my door.

 

It promises to be a pretty easy resto project - far more so than the Sport in front of it in the queue.

 

Next, I think a Liberta should be imported. Girls will be impressed by its elegance and fiability...

 

 

Only driving this model you will find full satisfaction!

[RedSparrow]

I know there was a shitload of variants on the basic model but I've never seen that Liberta monstrosity before! Quality advert there too.

[Shep Shepherd]

Very Acceptable

[dollywobbler]

Superb. Didn't think there were any left! Looks like the brakes work...

[michiel]

Whoa, nice find! That Liberta ad is almost too good to be true...

[fordperv]

You my friend are one of life's winners, that looks great

[Sam Glover]

[Cavcraft]

Sam, you're a legend. What a fantastic find and save, top bombing.

[warren t claim]

Will you be towing it to Bromley behind a Lonsdale?

[Mash]

Wow a genuine actual bonafide UK Denem!! Amazing find, well done

[wuvvum]

Wow. When I clicked on this thread I was expecting to see a left-hooker, which would have been impressive enough. Bun a jen-you-whine RHD UK market Denem is something else again. I think you've just won Autoshite.

[CYANIDE STEVE]

I feel slightly outshited! Well done Sam. That's fantastic!

[quicksilver]

Just WOW, that thing is autoshite personified. I don't know what else to say so I'll just grovel in awe of your chod-finding skills

[barefoot]

It's ok

[skattrd]

Dacia Denem, awesome.

The Liberta, I've never heard of before but must say it looks spectacularly shite

[michiel]

Ah, another well-translatored advertisingment brochure.

There's a 1289, 1397 and 1600 'cmc' engine, so let's call this elegantly architectured carriage the 1325...

[purplebargeken]

Oh Sam, that almost looks mundane compared to your usual fare. That C pillar curve looks 'propah shite' and reminds me of something but not sure what. You are however making me yearn for something eastern european/steel curtain-like. Swap ya something for a nice blue Daf 66. Ah, I see the problem with that. Damn.

[Mash]

That C pillar curve looks 'propah shite' and reminds me of something but not sure what.

 

Renault 12 perhaps......???

 

[face]

I am not sure what is the most impressive - the uber-rare vehicle or those utterly brillianterrible advertisments.

 

Bravo all round.

[Shep Shepherd]

I wonder if the Liberta was ever sold in English-speaking countries?
