Hi all,
Just presenting : I'm a “young” Dutch retired person living in the south of France close to the Mt Ventoux.
When I was starting driving a long time ago it was in my father's Daf 44....
Since some weeks I am now the proud owner of a Daf 55 - first registred in France sept 1969 - with 62000 km , I'm the 3rd owner.
I think it's one of the latest first series 55's made.
The car does not present well, but drives quite OK and passed the French MOT with only some minor comments.
The plan is first to clean it up (interior already partly done), solve a few technical issues and then later this year give it a respray in the orginal color “baby blue” Akwalo.
Unfortunately there does not seems to be an action Daf community in France, thus my registration here.
In the near furher I'll certainly will post some questions on this forum!

, interesting ! Yes, unfortunately there is not a strong community of DAF owners in France (these cars have been unfairly despised), that's why, although I'm French, I am also using this forum 
. There is a french forum for DAF:
