t a mile off Nice litte prog, the 16 year old is a trader of the future. Dislike flippers though.
Haven't seen a DAF in years, I'm old enough to remember when they first appeared in this country as the DAD Daffodil! That one looked a bit untidy around the edges tough. And the seller?
Cortina Mk 3, used to wobble like a jelly down the road. 2000E was the pick of the bunch for the interior but a Pinto as a great engine?

I think it was the voiceover that said once Volvo bought DAF, they stopped making cars and concentrated on trucks, but I'm pretty sure the 66 was badged as a Volvo for a while.ETA:
Interesting to see a daf, use to have one as a company car, Mine was the estate version, the engine was from a BMW 900cc motorbike , with it being air-cooled the heater worked by blowing air in ducting around the exhaust.
The throttle was connected to a noise generator that was only loosely connected to the speed the car went, but I did manage to get my first speeding ticket in it and had a few interesting times overtaking cars like a marcos 3000, nothing to do with the car more to do with being young and not stopping for things like roundabouts, conserving what little energy it had, fun times and that's why most old cars on the show are popular , memories....

Some people like the Pinto engine, some don't. Some people think that they are noisy, others don't. Some people think they are difficult to work on, others don't. I dread to try to add up how many millions of Ford (and other makes) cars were fitted with a Pinto engine so they cannot be that bad.

Just for clarity DAF never used BMW engines, the flat twin was a DAF design & later engines were Renault.

Well done to the lad who traded up to the 924 at the age 16. Be cool to see what he’s driving in 10 years time.
By coincidence there was a 17 year old lad with a S reg red 924 at one of our Porsche Club meetings last year. He’d had to bring his dad with him as he’d not passed his test.I liked the 924 in the auction, I had a similar age 911 with that pattern “Pasha” seats. Didn’t like the 80’s slot-in sunroof though, but I’d far sooner spent £5k on that then £17k on a Cortina

Unless you were one of the De Rooy brothers and you fitted a 1800cc Ford Cosworth BDA into your 4wd DAF for use in Rallycross
