End US-spec??
End US-spec??
From what I can tell, these 1310's were sold in Europe with these "US-spec" sidemarkers, maybe export-spec built models which were destined for North America, but instead got sold on in Europe? Or maybe masses of these Dacias in North America were re-imported back to Romania, much like RHD Ladas were in the UK (Nivas, Rivas and Samaras), all re-imported to Russia during the 1990's, hence they're so rare on British soil these days.
As for the FE-Schrift plate, It's fairly common to see owners having such plates for imported vehicles here in the UK (although a DIN font plate would've been more suitable for this car?). As for the flag, it's simply a Romanian flag sticker which has been applied on its side to fit in the Euroband, as not to obscure the plate characters.

Beautiful spot, very cool!

Thank you! I just decided to drive onto a side street around the corner from the customer's house, 'just in case' there was something interesting parked up. Not in a million years would I expect something like this

These 1310s with bigger sidemarkers were not destined only for export and I think it was more kind of pre-facelift or maybe just an optional variant, I say this because I saw old Dacias like this one with smaller sidemarkers as well.
Also I know in the 90s lots of Dacias (1310 especially) were re-imported back to Romania from Hungary.
