chevpol Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Ok folks, does anybody know how many Daf YA66's are in the UK? I have seen one on ebay, quite fancy the idea of one! The piccy gives you a idea of what one in service with the Dutch Military Police (cant spell real name!) looks like. Need to sell the 90. I havnt given up the idea of a RB44, but these little cars are unusual. (Yes, I know they are "Rubber Band" powered!!!) Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be 'Koninklijke Marechaussee', or KMar for short...:-D These cars are actually very comfortable to drive and obviously never intended for terrain. They are also known as 'courier cars'.

0 chevpol Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 how easy is it to get spares? The one I have seen on ebay needs a new rear window. Advert says like a caravan awning type plastic window!! Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 earlymb Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I don't have one, but I think spares aren't very hard to come by, most if not all of the mechanicals were the same as the standard car. I think the top is made of plastic, and the rear window is indeed just clear plastic. In The Nethelands there are several clubs dedicated to 1950's-'70's Dutch military vehicles, they may know vehciles or parts for sale. http://www.gaf92.nl/ http://www.dorstigetypes.nl/ Greetz David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Tony B Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I do know the civilian versions had an enviable reputation for suddenly busrting into flames. The Daf Varimatic drive is an infintily varariable drive. Actually very relaible. Didn't Volvo take it up afterwards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
