ARO 10 Series

The small ARO of 1980–2006, built on Dacia 1300 mechanicals with something of the Renault Rodeo and the Citroën Méhari about it: wagons, convertibles and pick-ups on 2,400–2,650 mm wheelbases, in 4×2 and 4×4, and sold in Britain as the Dacia Duster from 1985 to 1993.

The 10 Series gave ARO a light vehicle to sell beside the 24, and gave Dacia parts a second life. Seven engines were offered over twenty-six years, from 1.2 to 2.0 litres: petrol fours from Dacia, Volkswagen and Daewoo, from 54 hp to 105 hp, and diesels from Volkswagen, Peugeot and Renault.

Britain took the four-wheel-drive version as the Dacia Duster, Italy as the Super Ischia and the Enduro x4. The open Spartana followed in 1997 and the 10 Super of 1999 moved the body onto the 24 Series chassis — the last new ARO before the works closed in 2003. Only the four-wheel-drive versions are in the registry.
