Dacia 1300 scale model

This scale model represents the iconic Dacia 1300, a vehicle that became a symbol of Romanian automotive history. The Dacia 1300 was originally based on the Renault 12, following a license agreement between the Romanian government and the French manufacturer Renault in the late 1960s. These specific die-cast models are frequently produced by specialized collectibles companies like DeAgostini or Hachette for regional markets.

While the Dacia brand itself originated in Romania under the state-owned company Uzina de Autoturisme Pitești (UAP), it is currently a primary subsidiary of the French Renault Group. The manufacturing of these collectible scale models usually takes place in China, where high-volume precision die-casting facilities are located. Today, Dacia remains a key brand within the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, serving as a leader in the European budget car segment.
