An ARO 10, Rog, the original Duster, Romanian built with a Renault engine.

Used to be a right pain making sure the front wheels were perfectly straight before jumping out to turn the latches on hubs to get 4x4

Bloody go anywhere though fair play.

JulesK - that is a damn ugly car

Lightwater - wouldnt fancy trying to thread that through a multistorey car park! Im sure the turning circle is on par with a supertanker. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Its way too big for our bush tracks but ideal for the school run. Although putting baby in a capsule could be embarrassing!

Bob, ugly but surprisingly comfy.
Spooky story was couple of years after getting it I took the dogs and ferrets out for a spot of rabbiting and decided to ask around a few farms up around Llandovery ( good 60 miles from where I used to live ) after asking a few I went miles down this track, come to an old farm and the lady came out turned around and run back in doors!! Came straight back out with farmer , I thought ' I'm in trouble here ??' but it turned out it was their old car. Small world

Great car that even pulled a defender out of a ditch out in the wilds of Merthyr!!

To be fair, the fiat was probably good value for money and probably spent less time in the dealers workshop than the last LR?
