💡 The ARO was so robust that it was exported to over 110 countries, but it remains most legendary in its "Miliția" uniform.
As Western cars like the VW Vento or Dacia Logan arrived in the late 90s, the aging AROs were phased out.
Today, they are prized by collectors. A restored Miliția ARO 240 is now a common sight at vintage car rallies, representing a complex chapter of Romanian history.
The Romanian Miliția ARO was more than just a police vehicle; it was a rugged symbol of state authority that dominated the country's roads for decades. These vehicles were the backbone of the "Miliția" (the Communist-era police) before the transition to the modern "Poliția" in 1990. 🚙 The Workhorse: ARO 24 Series
