"Rare complete and nice car that works well. Good anti-rust treatment and fine in all details."

Description

This car prompted Volvo to invest in small cars. They were so impressed that they purchased the entire DAF in 1975. The Volvo 66 was sold beginning in 1975.
This green DAF 66 was purchased new in Kristinehamn in 1974 and has remained loyal to Värmland ever since. The metre shows 61750 km, but it could be 161750 km.
The car has mostly been driven by five people. The car is being sold for a collector who is downsizing his car collection. A binder containing instruction manual and older registeration papers, a spare wheel, and a jack is included.

The continuously variable variomatic transmission, which is truly fully automatic with its centrifugal clutch and V-belt drive in nice combination with differential lock, is a unique feature of this car. The car moves forward when you push the lever forward. When you pull the lever backwards, the car moves in the opposite direction, at the same speed as it moves forward. A fun and quirky vehicle that the Swedish people quickly dubbed Remjohan.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Equipped with 1.1 liter four-cylinder in-line engine of 47 hp and Variomatic automatic transmission. The car starts easily and the variomatic works fine. The car has been parked since 2019, it has been started and driven regularly around the yard for exercise. The tires have some dry cracks and new ones are recommended. Otherwise, only a simpler review is needed before the inspection. After an approved inspection, the car is then exempt from inspection according to the 50-year rule.

  • Interior condition:

    Complete and nice dashboard, nice door sides and headliner. The seats have previously had seat covers fitted and are in good condition for their age. Some sun-bleached fabric at the top of the back seat. See the pictures.
    Equipped with working period-typical Blaupunkt car radio. Nice trunk with original rubber mat.

  • Exterior condition:

    An older repaint that has performed well. The colour of the right front wing is slightly different. There is minor surface rust on the left edge of the wings and on the rear number plate, as shown in the photos. The car was rusted and had visible repairs in the engine compartment in 2004. A small dent has appeared in the front wing and on the right door. On the driver's side, there are stone chips in the windshield.

  • General condition:

    Rare good representative of Volvo's Dutch history. Fully drivable. Soft dents on the driver's side, which can be fixed without paint. Good overall impression.

Facts about the model

DAF är förkortning för Van Doorne's Automobielfabriek. DAF 66 är en nederländsk bakhjulsdriven personbil, som tillverkades av DAF 1972-1976. Bilmodellen har gått till historien mest på grund av den steglösa transmissionen med remdrift, så kallad Variomatic, som i Sverige fick öknamnet Remjohan efter Volvos uppköp av DAF. DAF 66 var en lätt bil som vägde under 1000 kg. Med sin 1,1 liters Renaulttillverkade motor på 47 hk och variomatic automatlåda tog det endast 23,8 sekunder att från stillastående komma upp till 100 km/tim. Topphastigheten uppgavs vara 137 km/tim.
Från årsmodell 1976 ändrades namnet till Volvo 66 och bilen tillverkades med små förändringar ända fram till 1980. Bilen efterträddes av Volvo 340, som även den var en konstruktion som Volvo ärvde från DAF.
