Dacia 1300 F Autofurgoneta / Dacia 1300 F Van

In cartea "Autoturismul Dacia 1300" de A. Brebenel, C. Mondiru, I. Farcasu, editia a doua, din 1978, se vorbeste despre autofurgoneta Dacia 1300 F. Dacia 1300 F difera de break prin faptul ca scaunele din spate au fost suspendate, intre cabina si partea din spate - pentru marfuri - exista un perete despartitor, iar geamurile din spate sunt vopsite, nu transparente.

Informatiile referitoare la acest model sunt foarte slabe, desi in cartea lui Mondiru exista schite. Oricum, fotografii nu exista - sau asa credeam pana astazi, cand intamplator am dat peste o vedere veche cu hotelul Athenee Palace. Greu de datat, dar prezenta numerelor galbene, Skodei 105 si lipsa de Dacii 1310 implica perioada 1978 - 1983.

In the second (1978) edition of the book "Dacia 1300" written by A Brebenel, C Mondiru and I Farcasu, there are references to the Dacia 1300 F van. This differs from the estate version in three respects: the lack of rear seats, the partition between the front and the rear, and the painted rear windows.


There is very little info around on this model, although the Mondiru book contains blueprints. Anyway, there are no photos in existence - or so I thought until seeing this postcard of the Athenee Palace Hotel in Bucharest. It's difficult to date, but the presence of a Skoda 105, the yellow licence plates and the lack of Dacia 1310s points to the period 1978 - 1983.
