Here's a couple of shots of Borward engines. The first is a race tuned one with the side cover off of the rocker cover. You can see the small manifold going into the combustion chambers.

The next two are from a 6 cylinder engine from a Borgward Pullman Limousine

Here you can see the inlet manifold that is mounted under the rocker cover.

This shows the the vertical inlet ports next to the valves.

Thanks. That's answered a few questions. I definitely would. 

Borgward Pullman Limousine. Now there's a car. Looks like there is at least one in this country judging by this picture.

Though I don't think the lines work as well in the bigger car, I'd be happy with the smaller Isabella.

There is a coupe for sale in Norway now with lots of pictures if you are interested.

Thanks. Trouble with the coupe, with all coupes in fact, is you get less car for more money, quite a lot more in this case. And again I think the the saloon looks better.

Comes with a cloth interior because it is a proper luxury car. None of your cheap leather here.

Nearly 70 years old (design) and it still looks like something from the future.

Any details on that? It's just they are all wearing CR registrations which is Southampton, or was and I don't remember any Daf dealers round here. Though I was only four when they were new.

And image search brings up the image on Pintrest. It says it is from 1973, but the L suffix was from August 1972.

Thanks, I never knew that was there and it's really quite close to me. I don't know when it closed but the block of flats that sits there now looks 80s/90s.

And from the rear in Queens Road.

From the age of 10 or 11 me and a friend used to walk all round the Shirley area asking for brochures from all the dealers. That was from about 1978 onwards. Most were quite friendly and some would even let us sit in the cars. On the map above where it says The Range/Iceland used to be Seward's Datsun which we visited many times so we were very close but I have no recollection of a Daf dealers so it had either gone or we just completely missed it.
