Following the success of his previous book Scania at Work" Patrick Dyer takes a close look at another favourite of long haul drivers DAF. Although now owned by the American company PACCAR & with links to Leyland the roots of DAF trucks are firmly in Eindhoven Holl&.

The 330 hp engine suited it for the heavy-duty special transport that became a feature of the period. Patrick W Dyer author of two books for Old Pond
