There's something wrong with that car. It's got a perfect back bumper!  |

It's quite a nice car & the more times I walk past it in my drive the more I'm liking it.
I'm currently part way through a full 'body-off' restoration of my 1964 VW beetle which is taking up most of my time so my current plan is to wait for lighter nights and as this car only requires small jobs I will do them in the evenings after work.
Jobs it requires on first inspection: brakes are seized on, exhaust is blowing, front drivers side jacking point is missing, and that's about it for the basics.
Good bits: good chrome, great bumpers, nice interior, everything is there and in good condition.
I'm looking forward to making a start & I will post pictures here as I go along.

Sounds like it has gone to a good home. Did you have far to go and get it Mark?

No, one of the reasons I bought it is because it was a local car.

Has anyone an idea of how many of these 44's are left on UK roads, as the website "How Many Left" says none?

I know of 3 estates, and 3 saloons personally

Keep in mind that 'How Many Left' uses raw DVLA data, which can be inaccurate as many DAFs are only registered by brand (my 66 is an example of this).

My old 44 was just on the V5 as "DAF" no model designation was specified, but the 66 does have its model on the V5.

It's surprising what might suddenly appear from nowhere that might have been out of the loop (and presumably) out of DVLA's computer loop too. Those 4 or 5 DAFs up in Scotland a while ago for instance. I'm also intrigued as to DVLA's position on deleting "defunct" vehicle details from the system. Over the past five years Family cars we owned in the early 70's which were listed previously have now disappeared from the DVLA database.
