Survivor from a time nobody cared.
The Daf 600 was made in Holland from 1959 until 1963. It's main claim to fame is that it had a 'variomatic' (read: variable automatic belt-driven) transmission as standard fitment which was at the time unheard of for an European car. Bruno Costers from Belgium still owns one: "It's the luxury version of the second generation (Daf 600 Luxe which was made on 8 March 1961, Chassis number: LP007020497 Engine number: * 021 111 *-600AF) with less than 30,000 kilometers on the odometer.
