Bucharest, Romania
Nicolae Ceaușescu's very own Dacia 2000!
Back in Communist times, CKD Renault 20s were assembled as the Dacia 2000, only painted in black or dark blue (seen here), equipped with 2.0 or 2.2l engines, automatic gearbox and electric windows, serving as both Ceaușescu's official car, as well as presidential fleet cars. In the 1990s, the Secret Services resprayed some cars in white and resold them in private hands. It is unknown how many were built or how many remain, though there are at least two remaining in Bucharest as of 2025, this one included.
