This coupe (at the time) was next to the blue 66SL: DAFdafDAFdafDAFdaf 012 by macplaxton, on Flickr I've found the album as to how holey that one was: www.flickr.com/photos/66889473@N00/sets/72157622382333931/Despite the title of that album, it's a 1100 Marathon Coupe as it's a 6626 model) I'm still in thought about that blue one. It's working out the logistics as it might be worth dragging it direct to LDC in one hit, rather than dropping it off in Carlisle. Either way a verdict will be forthcoming by the end of the weekend.

Just been checking back over t'other place.
"munceyboyjoe" took delivery of HGX767N from Derek 02 Oct 2009. Then there's a gap before he talks about his other DAF (which we'll come back to). Then HGX767N resurfaced with "jonny555" in October 2013 and had been in his possession for 4 years, but after that brief appearance the trail goes cold. So I don't know if it has been weighed in or not, but I would assume that nothing has been done to it in the interim (the custodian not being a welding god). It's never had a MOT in recent time nor has it had tax since the end of October 1992.
"munceyboyjoe" subsequently bought Pedro de Wit's blue 66 Marathon Coupe, which he then sold to Vince for export to the USA where it still is.
In short, the known position seems to be that it is resting in a lock-up.
