	Here's my barn find Duster. It was laid up when it was only about a year old. It has slept in a garage for the last 25 years or so. I acquired it about a year ago, and have newly got it recommissioned. It got its very first MOT just on Monday!

	This is neat, I know which I'd rather have should it happen to be parked next to the new Dacia Duster. Is there any story as to how it got parked up at just a year old with such low mileage? The numberplate must be worth a small fortune aswell.

	Pretty cool - more info on it here: autoshite.com/topic/31066-1992-dacia-duster-roadster/ What do those sticky-out front hubs do - freewheel, like an old Land Rover or summat?

	Thats cool, I'm sure ive never seen one before. Given its rarity id say leave it as it is, but at the same time i cant help but think it needs slamming or lifting, I'm not sure which.

	Time warp!!!!! A pal of mine purchased one of these late 80s or early 90s, I remember it being three or four years old at the time, Renault based mechanicals, a very low mileage,blue and white with hard top and the obligatory dissolving bodywork. ( The secret behind the very very low mileage will soon become obvious) Living on an island does not help with dissolving bodywork. Ironically I seem to remember that this was a swap for an immaculate Marina Van that was deemed too under powered to tow his fishing boat and the Duster had the bonus of four wheel drive. Incidentally the four wheel drive never worked properly and consumed or lost vast quantities of oil and the ability to select drive to any wheels was rather intermittent. Regular tows off beaches were a very necessary occurrence when drive became non existent for some reason or another. Rather embarrassing to be towed off a beach by an Austin 1100 when you own a four wheel drive vehicle.Parts availability was virtually non existent in pre-internet days and with no dealers within easy travelling distance, maintenance was a problem apart from plugs, points (remember them) and brake shoes at the local factors. I can't remember it's final fate but I suspect that it was traded in for a very tired Marina saloon. I wish you luck with your find, rustproof like mad and keep away from water as they dissolve faster than Alka Seltzer. Keep taking the tablets.

	That is a such a cool car. I looked when you first posted it up, but have looked twice since. I’m really hope more guys see it, and “get” it. A bazillion bonus points for the save and owning it.

	I can’t believe how clean it’s looking, I take it needed a machine polish as part of the recommission? We need photo of it with the roof removed too. Agree on the reg plates too.

	Well, there's something I never knew existed. Looks in incredible condition! Hope this one gets preserved rather than modified to be honest

	Given how few are left its hardly surprising i haven't seen one of these for years , what a find. Hope it drives better than its horrific sibling the r12 derived pick up did. Out of the showroom it was a proper dog.
