i rescued a daf 44 from being scrapped last year and after minimal repairs it should pass the mot this week. i am trying to find out how many of these are left as nobody seems to know of any more. i would love to find out how many of these have survived as this is a great little car. i know there are only 12 daf 55s registered but i have seen more photos and articles about these than the 44s and it would be interesting to find out how rare this car actually is. any info would be greatly appreciated.

Hello and well done for saving and enjoying your DAF44. I hope that you continue to enjoy it - maybe you will get to some club events.
To answer your question re how many survive, the honest answer is that I/we don't know. It is hard for individuals/clubs to get info from the DVLA. As you know, the SMMT (Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders) released some info re DAF 55s to PC magazine.
We may find out one day - but rest assured you have a very interesting vehicle which like all DAFs, really is rather rare now.

mine is a late 1967. as far as i can tell from serial number and workshop manual references it could be a very early 2nd generation but i do not know enough yet to be sure. do you know how i could tell . only just joined the club so i will try to get some photos on once i can work out how.

if you want to see a photo look in the owners dafs forum on daf44s. there is a photo on there to show a mark 1. this is actually MY car about six months before i bought it. the car looks about the same now as the body is actually quite good and i have not had to do anything to the body other than clean it. i will try to get some better photos before too long. paul
