Ok...The Volvo 66.... It's really not that bad,most bits for it i have in stock..the plan is to get it up and running,moving under it's own power...but will add to the final sale price.. Speedo clock says 10,000 miles but no paperwork/log book to back this up..engine turns by hand.. Interior is the best bit,anyone seen a nicer set of seats? Worse bit,passenger sill.. Will remain at central until sold..to good to break.. The next Daf to be collected will be the blue 66sl..to dark to look it over at the time so hoping on no nasty surprises.. The yellow V66 is being offered to the trails club,looks worse than it is..fitted with a Volvo 340 1.4 engine..will come to us if not wanted in the trails club The white 66 marathon is being kept as this is the currant trails car..1 day it may see Essex but not for now Many,many spares..but as we don't have many,we will fit them in....somewhere..  Added bouns is 2x sets of alloys..please don't ask...NOT FOR SALE  The Defender with trailer surprised us with how good on fuel it was,plan to use this again.. |

No probs Matt.
Tell me more about this 66SL...
Apart from it having been off the road for 22+ years and is pre-SORN.
I'm not looking for a car, just information for educational purposes only.

Sorry to say Rich...you know more than i do..all we can do is wait i'm afraid but hope to collect it within this month.
Not the best conditions it's been kept in,there's a 66 Mara coupe behind it...which is for sale...but rotten...so time will tell.

Ok, let me run this hypothetical scenario past you...
There's a poorly 66 that needs some TLC. It's in the wrong place as usual. What is also in the wrong place is a NOS OSF wing and a NOS NSR wing. There are also some doors and a rear boot/tail section. There's even a roof knocking around. In a shed somewhere else is a set of new Vredestein Classic Sprint tyres in a skinny size perfect for some old school 4.00B x 14 DAF rims.
Do you sell/lob all the bits out or do you find something to fit them to? (Where's North? You Essex boys call anything north of the Watford Gap "north"!)
