Ooooo L La La La party time hurrah
It's my birthday soon and I am getting a Pressie it looks like issabelle is getting a new home in the West Country so she won't get too home sick I will let her park next to my apple tree sometimes. Road trip next weekend for me best part of 5 hours un laden without a stop.
Her new name will be issabelle white. Go on get the jokes over with "no it brass you fool!"
So happy my daf cherry is about to be broke
All serious now looks like a deal has been struck it's not 32 but for me it's going to be a keeper. I am going to be the new owner so I will sign up and keep in touch .in the mean time any one got any bits to sort her out I understand the clutch rattles linings anyone?

Well done that man! You can buy new clutch shoes but it's expensive. Better to get yours re-lined. You should hook up with Howard in Bristol, good man; he'll show you the way of DAF.

Omg
I have just spent 3 hours reading the life a Isabelle ..
What can I say well done all I promise to look after her I will get to the bottom of the belt destroying rear end and look at doing anything that it needs. I am used to looking after cars especially ones that deserve it and this one does.
Thank you Norfolk and the current owners.

Oooooo very excited now looking forward to the drive on Saturday. Got a trailer sorted and a buddy for company.
Still deliberating the way to go from West Country m5 to m4 along m4 and up through oxford and keep going to miss the m25 and then the Norfolk roadworks or do the m25 or stay on the m5 and turn fight about gloucester some where.
What do you recomend.

M25 every time! Although seen by many drivers as a pain in the a£$e, it's actually good for steady gentle driving; straight line running, gentle braking and accelerating and clear signposting. You don't want to be doing shed loads of stop-start, traffic lights & roundabouts with a trailer!
Mind you, I'm a founder member of the "Friends of The M25" club, as I use it daily! When would you be travelling? I'll keep an eye out for you tomorrow!

Wow what a marathon (journey and time as opposed to car).
Headlights - I think Steve might have some new ones in stock. Best thing to do is to email him (he doesn't tend to use the sites) or I'm sure there maybe some used ones around that people will let us know about.

If you want to be a bit different/radical/French in your outlook! PM me if interested! |

Hi thanks for that I have some clip on yellow plastic headlamp covers from 1970 already along with some rectangle fog lights and a round spotlight, chrome 3 length spring mounted radio Ariel and some other retro bits but I need to get her running and legal first. I do like your style though and I will think about it if I can't get them to fit |
