This was one of the reasons Citroen eventually closed their operation in Slough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiniMort Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Here's a brilliant report from March of 1981 looking at two upcoming models from Eastern Europe - the Zastava 101 and Dacia 1310 - the latter of which was expected to be on sale in Britain that summer! And while we're here, here's an article about the Yugo Sana from November of 1989. hennabm and garethj 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually liked the look of the Sana when it came out. Reminded me of a Citroën ZX. Unfortunately the small matter of a war in the Balkans got in the way, otherwise it could have been a contender.

Richard_FM Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I heard the Sana was based on a concept design Pininfarina drew up for styling the Fiat Tipo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad always bought used cars but I think he was a little tempted by the prospect of a brand new Yugo Sana in 1989/90. Just as well he hung on to the '83 MG 1600 instead as he lost his job the following year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
