The seller offers for sale this 1968 DAF T1300D A265, a classic truck that has undergone a restoration approximately 10 years ago. The restoration included a repaint of the cab interior, reupholstered seats, new tires, and a replacement spare wheel. More recently, the vehicle received new batteries and a new winch, making it a well-equipped and mechanically sound truck.

Powered by a 6.1L six-cylinder diesel engine, this DAF is paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox with a two-speed system, providing versatility in different driving conditions. Unlike many older trucks, this vehicle has been modified with a bus cardan, allowing it to cruise at speeds up to 100 km/h. This makes it much faster than standard versions, adding to its usability on modern roads. Additionally, the truck features power steering, which enhances maneuverability.

The exterior condition is described as very good, with only minor signs of wear such as small dents or scratches that do not require major repairs. The interior has been refurbished, and while it may have some signs of use, it remains in clean condition. Mechanically, the truck is in working order.

DAF, a Dutch manufacturer, has a long history of producing reliable commercial vehicles. The T1300 series was designed as a versatile heavy-duty truck, suitable for various industries including military, transport, and construction. Known for their durability and relatively simple mechanical design, these trucks were used extensively in Europe throughout the late 1960s and 1970s.

The T1300 was one of the more advanced models of its time, featuring a robust chassis, a capable diesel engine, and an adaptable transmission. Compared to other trucks from the same era, DAF models were appreciated for their straightforward engineering and ease of maintenance. The addition of a bus cardan to this specific model enhances its speed capabilities, making it more practical for long-distance travel compared to its original factory specifications.

While DAF trucks have historically been more focused on functionality rather than luxury, this particular vehicle has seen thoughtful upgrades such as power steering, making it more accessible for modern use. Classic DAF trucks have become increasingly popular among collectors and enthusiasts, with well-maintained examples like this one offering a unique mix of history, usability, and vintage charm.
