Any one up for a Welsh DAF event?

Hello all back at the winter pub lunch, I mentioned to a few people the possibility of having a DAF stand at one of bigger and better shows in my local area and making a weekend of it. So I have set this thread up to test the waters so to speak.

The event I have in mind is the Aeron Valley Vintage Show at Clifforch Farm, Aberaeron on 11th of August. This is an event I have attended for several years and it has just got better every year.

Last year I would guess at their being 300 classic cars in attendance, a similar amount of tractors to cars, several commercials and a steam section. The show also has a live ring with various displays throughout the day as well as 2 cavalcades into town during the course of the day. In previous years there has been a vintage bus service into town throughout the day which I expect will be repeated again this year.

If you are interested please let me know and I can give details of accomodation in the area.

These photos are from a couple of years back but should give you a taster of the show.

























I hope I have tweeked your interest and that we might get a few DAFs in the ring this year. At the moment Gremlin is not behaving at all so I honestly can't say whether she would be able to get their under her own power. Her carburettor is giving me major problems swinging wildly between fuel starvation and flooding. This fault is the carb not the fuel pump as I have fitted a known good pump and it is still doing it. She has also had a car rebuild set including a new float and float valve but still seems to be flooding badly.

Hi there,
We've recently rescued a DAF 66 and has been restored. We were wondering if we could show her at this event?
Also is there camping facilities there?
This will be her first outing we're quite excited!

There aren't facilities on the showground but there are plenty of sites in the area in fact there is a fishing lakes site that does camping that allows tents about a mile from mine.

It is not yet to late to put an entry in but you would need to be quick the closing date for entries is 20th July 2018.

The entry form can be found here.
