Picked this up today in Dublin and drove it down to Cork... Driving fine, needs bodywork though...

Nice

An interesting little car, especially as its variomatic, my brother had a light blue, Volvo 66 a few years back, which was a Daf really.

Nice to see something different.

Nice to see it staying in the country and going to a good home.

Well wear and enjoy!

Any chance of a pic of the dealers sticker in the rear window?

Would I be correct in thinking it would have been supplied new by Trux on Lavitts Quay.

Nope

It was sold new by a dealer in Enfield in the UK, and imported under "transfer of residence" in 1979...

Well done chancing that journey in new purchase that old, hope you had another car traveling with you carrying tow rope!
Have learned from experience that it is better to trailer home a new (to me) car, and discover any faults on short journeys on home ground.
Has that car the variable belt drive transmission?

Yeah she's got the Variomatic transmission... all Dafs do...

lovely little motor, best of luck with it.

Found a new interior for the Daf, came out of a 20,000 km car, as good as new

macplaxton · 03-04-2012 1:01am

Nice find, but I prefer velour faced seats :pac: (which always are in bits)
