They don't make 'em like that anymore.

They don't make them like that any more. Steel girder construction.

I want one! No ECU to go wrong and i reckon there probably isn't anything on it that I couldn't ix myself!

I think it's about time someone launched a basic vehicle without all the gizmos, wind up windows, no central locking, preferably 4x4 etc. I'm fed up with cars with too much on them and would love a newer vehicle that goes back to basics but with more reliability than a Land Rover at an affordable price....in the meantime i'll dream on!!

I think the name might be slighty off putting....I question whether they actually understood the translation of duster? I think I would be more swayed towards it if it was called the 'Dacia Broardsword' or 'Dacia Tankbuster' but 'Duster' just doesn't work for me

That Sir, was awesome!

An alternative...

I did all my four-wheeling back when I was young and single (and possibly a little daring and foolish). I had a 1965 Land-Rover. I've never owned anything since that was as reliable (except my Ford Escort--but it wasn't an off-road vehicle). There are few places to go off-road these days, so 4x4 is pointless, yet I see more Land-Rovers and Range Rovers than ever. The company I work for even owns a Range-Rover.

My experiences included getting stuck or driving off the side of the road with some frequency, if not regularity. I was pulled out by local people with tractors or logging trucks and once, had to manage by myself for about four hours before getting unstuck. The worst that happened was cracking the radiator when I was driving someplace I shouldn't have been. I will admit, however, that driving an ATV is more fun.

Classic! was just waiting for the Anthill Mob to come round the corner!

The running joke out here in Saudi is that you'll be out dune bashing in the most up to date 4x4 with the most toys and you'll be passed by a Bedouin in an old chevy caprice classic...

Totally agree! I'd love a basic reliable 4x4 motor. Keep thinking about a land rover but scared by the cost of running one.

What about the Lada Riva was it? The 4x4 that Lada made for a while it think it even possibly received favourable praise from Clarkson & Co

The Lada Niva/Cossack was brilliant...............as long as you got one that wasn't assembled and QA checked by an Ivan on a Friday after shifting the home brew for the rest of the week........

Had a Cossack from new. When it ran it was amazing. Most of the time it was having something fixed - like the master cylinder for the brakes or being resprayed cos the paint was peeling. Fiat running gear, diff lock, low ratio box and could be tweaked. The heater was more than capable of dealing with Siberian winters. Put Landrovers to shame ( and I've had a few of those).
