Amen to that ^^^! Just found this: a completely random picture taken through my windscreen in France in 2004. It appears to be a French mark 1 DAF 85 with a tilt. I hope it had an Eaton Twins-splitter (a lot of the early ones did!). Robert0
That’s already a mkII Robert, if you look closely enough you will see that the extra letters CF are added in the grille, and that the amount of BHP is on the door, while the mk 1’s had that added in the grille as well, just as the bigger brother, the 95…
You’re right about the 'box though, the “early” ones could be fitted with a Twin splitter, after the update to CF and XF the only weapon of choice was a ZF 'box and later on when they changed letters and numbers, that horrible auto 'box came as an option…
