There are "Barn Finds" and there are "Heated Garage Finds"!
Discussion
I drive a Dacia Duster as my daily, and was interested in the original Dacia Dusters from the 1980's and early 90's, of which very few survive. About a year ago I was informed about an original Duster found in a garage after the owner sadly passed away. It is a 1992 Dacia Duster Roadster model, and the tax disc in the window is dated 1993, meaning the vehicle has been driven only for one year or less. I have eventually managed to acquire the vehicle and am amazed by its condition. I've since discovered the garage actually had a central heating boiler running it continually, so this "JEEP" has effectively been sitting in a heated garage for the last 25 years!

They were rare even when still on sale new. What are you going to do with it?
Does it have rear seats?
No rear seat, but I think it is a Roadster model rather than a Pick-up, because there is no rear bulkhead behind the seats (and there are also rear grab handles and ashtrays!)Does it have rear seats?

I'm sorry to disappoint you but that is not a Duster. It's an ARO 10. Plenty of them still running in Romania

It's a Dacia Duster in the UK! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARO_10
I remember seeing a brand new one of these in 1991, and being amazed even then by how crappy the build quality was. The interior door trim was some weird sponge/foam with the thinnest layer of vinyl on top of it - and that was already starting to wear through, on a new car. Not in the least surprised there are so few left, but well done for finding this one.
