Hi Guys
Just posting for any information on this years Princethorpe event. Is this the Owners Club annual event? I have been on the official Princethorpe site and it is asking for people to register to attend. Is it organised by the DAF Owners Club? Do we need to register before hand?
I would really like to attend this to see as many DAF's together and to meet some fellow Daffers, especially after the past couple of years when events couldn't happen due to Corona.
It's a bit of a trek mind but should take about 3 hours each way.
Are there any other owners from up North considering going? I thought perhaps we could meet and go down together...safety in numbers..lol
I really hope to get to this one.

Hello,
Yes, it is the main DOC event of the year. It's actually a general classic car/summer fair organised by Princethorpe on the last Sunday in June.
The DOC has top level contacts at Princethorpe, so we are always allocated a good location in the grounds. We've been attend this for many, many years, and it is firmly established and popular.
Don't worry about registering though. It is perfectly OK to just turn up on the day.
We tend to give more info for members in the magazine, but the above are the basic details and you will be most welcome.
Distance-wise, we have had people attending from London, Cardiff, all over really.

Great, thanks Richard. I do hope to attend. Any ideas on numbers yet? Sorry no - in all honesty, hardly any DAF owners register! We find people sometimes wait to see what weather might be doing etc. Obviously because of Covid, we haven't been for a couple of years. I think we had a dozen or so DAFs last time. Hopefully a few more messages will appear on here. |

Two 33s don't equal a 66!  |
