Some hot rubber action!!!

Now that got your attention didn't it!

 

Maybe not quite what you were thinking, but this is my latest buy:

 

 

 

Bought from my very good friends over at Essex Daf. No T&T as yet but this is in hand. 1100cc Daf 66. Runs well, stops well, has some wiring foibles and needs a good service. Collection tale to follow when MOT'd at some point soon'ish.

Nice one! Looking forward to some rubber band engine shots.

I love these things, excellent purchase

My grandfather had one of those in the same color - I remember the thing sounded like a shotgun going off when the variomatic band let go one day.

[Skizzer]

Very nice, we like these. Looking forward to the full story.

That looks thoroughly rubbish, slow and dangerous in equal measures. I like it a lot.

L-O-L and plus one.

That looks gr9 - tax exempt next year?

 

I was toying with the wagon version of one of these to fulfil my estate quota. I've still not driven a variomatic.

Great stuff. They're not slow with the 1108cc lump in them, and just as fast backwards!

[Shep Shepherd]

OH, YEAH!

[wuvvum]

Nice.

 

I can't imagine an 1108cc DAF being slow either, although I've never been in one. My 746cc 33 was a bit out of its depth on national speed limit roads, but this has 67% more power so would imagine it should be reasonably capable.

The used car dealer it was once sold by is still in business, albeit in Hainault nowadays:

I wonder if they have an old ledger with details about its sale somewhere? D

[eddyramrod]

Top purchase! Looking forward to seeing much more of this!

[michiel]

Prachtig Daffie!

[purplebargeken]

Whoaaa! Top AS praise, cheers folks.

 

My recently sold 33 was very nippy indeed and would happily pop along on the motorway. The 66 feels even peppier but I haven't driven it much more than around the farmyard.

 

Everyone has to have a go of a Daf at least once in their lives. They are really underrated but prices are slowly creeping up. Yep, tax exempt from next yr.

Sweet.
