The car in the main picture is (I suppose) from the original footage of the rally in 1983 (note the different set of wheels). It lacks the rubber spoiler introduced in 1984 (/vehicle_449772-Dacia-1410-Sport-1984.html), has some rally modifications (like the front bumper) and it is definitely a pre-production model (pre-1984) by the shape of the rear window frames. Don't know if the car in the movie is the same or another one with identical color theme. -- Last edit: 2011-11-15 14:03:34

You can notice the car in the last thumb, when driving through the river, is an early model by the plastic ornament at the rear vents. -- Last edit: 2011-11-15 20:39:32

petacchi ◊ 2011-11-15 16:18	Yeah, the plastic around the headlights.
