Triumph66 1,256 #1 Posted September 23, 2017 Last year I bought an old DAF 66 estate locally. It's a quirky little old car that is powered by a 1.1 Renault engine with variomatic transmission. It will need some TLC on the sills. The colour is Tundra Green. These are photos of when I got it back in December and have yet to update the photos. Very unusual to find a DAF, let alone an estate. I have sorted out the engine with a service including finding a new alternator. The DAF Owners Club is a gem of a club and have helped me out with a few items.DAF Hobby, in the Netherlands, sourced me the outer sills. Here are some photos for Koen's benefit. 7 Alan, Stormin, C-101plowerpower and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Triumph66 1,256 #3 Posted September 23, 2017 Cannot remember the last time I saw a DAF myself. Apparently there are a few in the South West but mainly saloons. The DAF 66 was bought out by Volvo in the late 70s and had a face lift to meet its safety standards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I seen that brown colour! A classic 70s colour and thus very retro! Post up a photo of your DAF 44 as well to keep mine company. Are you on the DAF Owners Forum? If not I highly recommend it.
