Just thought I'd start a separate thread from Simon's below, just in case anyone hadn't seen the links etc. Some very interesting cars here - not just the DAFs! Hope it all goes well and OK for them - I enjoyed our club visit to them a couple of years ago, and I think the owner is/was a member of our club. Here's the link to the catalogue: www.goldingyoung.com/catalogues/MS181008/index.htm |

Loved the nsu's and the fiat 126 when i went and the honders are pritty cool as well.
Not much room to put the daf 31 but i think it could be a nice car with alot of work.

it's the lot of work that is the problem with the 31 - I don't have the time or the space to do it sadly.

curses! just called the museum to check out one or 2 things about the 33 and it has been withdrawn from the sale. However, the current owner told me that although it is being privately sold it is being sold to somone he knows and won't 'dissapear' from enthusiasts radar.

The 33 dose need some work from memory bonnet and front wing repaint and some crome work so maybe the person he knows did not want to do that much to it.

we'll see when I rebid I was less bullish as I am taking reposession of the 44 so I could end up with a 33 and 44 in the fleet by Saturday (ulp - gawd knoows waht I will tell the wife!!)
The fleet could consist of:
1997 Volvo 940 Sport Estate
1978 Reliant Scimitat GTE 6A
1978 Citroen CX 25 Gti Auto
1972 Daf 44
1972 Daf 33
and to cap it all I have just ordered my wife a Golf Tdi from the leasing company..
arrrggghhhh!!!! will somone cure me of this terrible affliction!!

no I didn't go but I did have a commission bid running on the 33.I bid £376.00 for it but haven't heard anything so suspect that it went for more than that. I am quite pleased I didn't win it as I have bought back Mona.
Golding Young will no doubt publish the results sometime this week

33 went for £650, glad I hanged my initial bid which was a red wine driven £778 and could have seen me win it!
The 2 boxes of spares went for £2.00
looks like the 31 didn't sell - guess if anyone wants it they could contact the museum directly

Grr, I feel guilty about turning any DAF down, especially a 31 and I'd feel bad if it did not sell and had an uncertain future! None of us can do it all on our own though, can we?!  Believe you me, I have plenty on my plate at the moment! |

I don't have the time nor the money to start a restoration project at the moment. However, if somone has the storage space to mothball it and can collect it I could possibly fund the purchase if the price were realistic
