The Dacia automobile company was founded in 1966 under the name Uzina de Autoturisme PiteÈti (UAP) . The main Dacia factory was built in 1968, in ColibaÈi (now called Mioveni), near PiteÈti. Dacia acquired the tooling and basic designs of the Renault 12. However, until the tooling was ready it was decided to produce the Renault 8 under licence; it was known as the Dacia 1100. From 1968 to 1972, a number of 37,546 cars model 1100 were produced, with a very minor cosmetic change to the front in early 1970.
