According to Citroenet, the Oltcit 11RL was "rebadged as the Citroën Axel and sold in France, Austria, the Netherlands, Belgium and Italy". http://www.citroenet.org.uk/foreign/romania/oltcit-1.html Two of the three Oltcits already in the IMCDB were definitely filmed in Romania.

antp 2008-02-20 15:58	So French origin but built in Romania, also for the Oltcit?
Weasel1984 2008-02-20 16:52	If yes, in many other cars the origin also should be changed (also in modern Dacias and other makes about we have talked last time). Is it really necessary?
