Although Romania intendend to buy Polish tanks in 1934 (Carden Lloyd and modified Renault), this never happened to my knowledge.

In fact, the article on TK Tankette Series (http://www.linux-penguin.org/achtungpanzer/pol/poltk.htm) states that:

QUOTE

Poland also tried to export the TK series tankettes and in 1934/35, Poland sold (platoon) 6 TKS tankettes to Estonia. Also unsuccessful attempt was made to sell TKS to Romania. Spain was interested in purchasing 80 TKS but the transaction was never finalized due to unknown reasons. In January 1937, Sweden became interested in purchasing or renting of single TKS for testing purposes along with a purchase of 20 to 60 TKS tankettes, but Polish side was not interested.
