[quote author=33grinder board=readersrides thread=70161 post=937367 It's thought that the Daf in scrapheap challenge is a 32, very rare so would have been gutting if it lost, great television though!  [/quote] I had a feeling this would come up, if it's any consolation I did feel guilty about cutting her in half as it was a good solid car, my Nan had one from new and drove it for years till it was written off.   That 32 did us very proud ! |

Hey, don't feel guilty!! It was destined to be cut up, that's why it mysteriously turned up on the show and if it wasn't you then the other team would have done it.
Glad the power (?!!) of the variomatic won the day! ;D

No, they were destined for the bike and were seeded to win ;-) It nearly didn't the choke was stuck on, only came to light after the first run, after we sorted it she flew. To her credit she was the only thing we built that almost the whole crew wanted to have a go on after the filming had finished. |

Good question, I believe they are 13" Maybe putting the DAF centres in some wider 13" rims would be an option then? I.e. welding the centres into some 5,5x13" Vauxhall rims or something like that...  |

I guess you could do that. For the aggro I'd prefer some Daf alloys or minilites. I think minilights are a good compromise for older cars that wouldn't originally have had alloys.

Yes, there is hardly a 60s or 70s car where minilites will look wrong, I actually like them very much.
