Since the Dacia Duster went on sale in Britain, we’ve bought enough of them for every single resident of St Albans to have one. There’s a factoid to reckon with. Our editor was in St Albans a couple of
months ago, taking photographs of a hot rod for Custom Car magazine (never a dull moment in this job), and he can confirm that that would be a lot of Dacia Dusters.

And that’s before any actual vehicles have arrived in the
