I remember buying a DAF variomatic in the late 1970’s for what i thought was a very reasonable£60 pounds from a guy that promised me it was ‘a brilliant little car, one lady owner too”
Not a chance! the thing only just got me home (a 15 mile journey) and i never managed to get it to start again. My next purchase was a semi automatic Citroen Pallas but the less said about that the better.
