Weren't the Dacias based on the old Renault 12.. My mother had a series of Renaults, all Gordini varients R8, R10 then a 12TS, that was a nippy motor.
Old mate of mine used to sell Simcas including the Rancho. It certainly looked the part, but suffered from tin worm in a big way, probably why there are so few of them left on the road.
Had an Agri Rover years ago, series 2/3 bought second hand from David Brown tarctors field test department at Meltham, not sure, but I think my cousin traded it in for a RRC, both long gone now though.
Any one remember the Woods & Picket Range rovers from the early 70s?
It took Land Rover ten years to catch up with the spec.

The 505s are still widely used in West Africa. In Guinea they're used as taxis; they must be built like tanks, because the roads there are pretty severe for a Land Rover, let alone a car.

Does anyone remember the ARO Ranger?, that later metamorphosised into the Potaro Pampas??
Or the Dacia Duster?

A friend's dad had one and we thought it was so cool. Wasn't it badged Talbot here? Of course, the roofline is rather familiar to any Discovery owners.
