Introducing Celia, the rather lovely 1970 DAF 33. No, she's not mine, but belongs to my much-better half, Sue.

I was told she doesn't need to keep it a secret anymore (the car, presumably) - so this explains all about where the rather lovely eBay car ended up, in case anyone was wondering!

And no, she was not pushed into buying it - although I think if she didn't, I would have!

Celia isn't perfect, but mind-numbingly original. She's not been tarted up or had any disguised repairs. She is lovely to drive, especially now that track rod end has been done. I'll post more interesting photos in the very near future!
