First Romanian Passenger Car

A Knock‑Down Kit of the Renault 8
The Dacia 1100 was essentially a rebadged Renault 8, assembled from knock‑down kits supplied by the French automaker. This close relationship meant the Romanian car shared the Renault 8’s design and mechanical layout.
Short Production Run with Over 37,000 Units
Production of the Dacia 1100 lasted from 1968 until its discontinuation in 1971, during which Dacia built 37,546 units. After four years, the model was replaced by the Dacia 1300, paving the way for the next generation of Romanian cars.
