History
Dacon was the Brazilian Porsche importer. When imports were prohibited in 1976 it began building special cars of its own, among them the mini car known in Brazil as the "Dacon Ovo" (Egg), the 822 (a Passat-based targa) and cars badged PAG. The 828 name echoes Porsche's 928, and the car used the rear light units of the 928.
