FactThe 1310 kept selling in Britain under a fake identity, badged Dacia Denem to avoid the taint of the old name.
The Dacia 1310 was the first major restyling of the Renault-12-based 1300, presented at the autumn 1979 EREN exhibition in Bucharest as the '1980 model' after the manufacturing licence for the 1300 expired in 1978; it had a fully redesigned front with round headlights and higher bumpers, combined rear light clusters, a radio, dual-circuit (power on some models) brakes, headrests and 8 cm more rear legroom. Its 1,289 cc OHV four rose to 56 hp at 5,250 rpm and 94 Nm at 3,500 rpm (from 55.2 hp) as compression went from 8.5:1 to 9:1; a 1,397 cc version made 63 hp at 5,250 rpm and 100 Nm at 3,000 rpm, for a 142 km/h top speed. Front-engine, front-wheel drive on the Renault 12 platform; wheelbase 2,441 mm (96.1 in), length 4,348 mm (171.2 in) saloon / 4,404 mm (173.4 in) estate, width 1,636 mm (64.4 in), height 1,355 mm (53.3 in) saloon / 1,455 mm (57.3 in) estate, curb weight 940 kg (2,072 lb) saloon / 960 kg (2,116 lb) estate. Sold in the UK as the Dacia Denem (1982-1984) and elsewhere as the Delta 1310, Aro-Familia or Dacia Cristal.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Simca beat Fiat to market by three months with what was essentially Fiat's own Topolino design.
The Simca 1000 began at Fiat: Simca boss Henri Pigozzi picked one of six boxy clay models from Fiat's "Project 122".
The last Simca 1000 ever built, the 1978 Rallye 3, was also the rarest — just 1,000 were made in the model's final year, a quiet send-off for a car that had sold nearly two million.
To drum up buzz at launch, Simca briefly swapped 50 of its Paris taxi fleet's Ariane sedans for tiny new 1000s, making the little car a familiar sight on the capital's streets.
The PL 17's name is a sum: 5 fiscal horsepower, 6 seats, 6 litres per 100 km, kept a digit below the Citroën DS 19's.
The humble Tagora spawned a one-off concept, the Présidence, decked out with Connolly leather and electronics way ahead of 1981 — a built-in telephone, dictaphone, text-message receiver and a TV with VCR.
Talbot fed the Tagora's V6 old-fashioned triple carburettors instead of fuel injection — and the extra power briefly made it the most powerful French car on sale. Only 1,083 were ever built.
Switching the 96 from a two-stroke to a Ford V4 was such a closely guarded secret that Saab invented a fake company, Maskinverktyg AB, just to buy the new engine's parts without its own purchasing department finding out.
