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.
