Description
Beautiful Daf 55 in incredible original top condition from 2nd owner. It was bought new by the grandfather of the last owner, so the Daf remained within 1 family for no less than 54 years. The original registration and guarantee certificate are still present. And also all original locks, keys and key rings. A cherished and excellently cared for indoor sleeper. Has since become very rare.
The 55 has been professionally repainted in the past in the original colour ‘Akwalo’ and the quality of the paintwork is of a high standard. The paint does look original, so it has been expertly done. It was done more than 30 years ago, which is a great compliment. A Dinitrol treatment was also carried out then. The doors close like a safe and the seams are perfect. The colour looks very nice on the car, it really is a baby blue classic. Newly delivered with rear window heating, coconut mats and a lockable fuel cap, back then life was very simple...
The interior is completely original and a real time capsule. The seats have the original upholstery and everything is in one piece. The dashboard is scratch-free and all gauges work as they should. The steering wheel and headliner are also completely undamaged, and that after 54 years. The rubber floor covering is remarkably neat, protected by the strong coconut mats.
The indestructible 1108cc Cléon-Fonte engine has an excellent reputation. Renault had been building this engine in various models for years and for Daf it was a logical choice. The compact and powerful water-cooled 4 cylinder boosted the Daf sales and the brand was finally taken seriously.
This 55 has obviously been neatly maintained and drives very well! Only 60 km ago, the Daf had the necessary service including new spark plugs and cleaning of the carburettor. The variomatic is not very quiet, but then the Daf has not been driven much in recent years. The Michelin tyres are sufficient but not so young anymore. There are spare belts. It is striking how light and comfortable this Daf drives and steers. You can easily keep up with today's traffic.
