What do you think? Should I? I've been offered this locally at a very reasonable price .  It's a 1957(?) DAF YA-126 in need of a Master Cylinder re-build & a good coat of paint. Other than that it is a running example with a lot of new parts. John |

Just a quick update..... Yes...I have purchased the YA-126 and it will be picked up on Sunday 2 August from Cape Cod, Massachusetts with the aid of an Articulated trailer.  In the meantime I have sold "RED BARON" (1962 Daffodil 30) on Flea-Bay & it will be going to California shortly in order to make room for actual restoration work. The Daffodil was excess in my collection (I still have my other 1962 Daffodil "KIKKER")   Needed to make room & shift some DAFs around this weekend to accommodate the YA-126 which must go into the large first bay....

I had quite a diverse DAF weekend with lots of weird stuff going on at DAF Central-USA.  The cabriolet project received a new upper valance bit courtesy of Bondo Billy...this should save me some valuable time.  She also took a ride to the outer workshop because I needed room to put something bigger inside...  "MAJOR" is now inside & out of the weather. Quite a few vehicles were passed along last week which gave me a little more breathing room. My daily was sold, the DCA Box truck (Jonah) is gone and "Red Baron" has been sold as well. John |

It has been some time since I've posted (SHAMEFUL) but I thought it was high time to update everyone on what has been happening at DAF Central-USA. Since my last posting I have sold another DAF 600 which went to Ohio.  I've also sold off the 1966 DAF 32 Deluxe saloon which has gone to Georgia.  I now have a little more room to move in my workshop. This past weekend Vince & I attended the 30th Annual Manchester (Vermont) classic car event with three DAFs  Surprisingly MARILYN (my 343 DL) took top honors and was given the BEST OF SHOW trophy out of 310 cars which were there.  See you for ED7. John |
