Some 'proper' dafs

Some great shots of some of DAF’s finest - keep 'em coming. Proper DAFs you could pick a mile away, most of the modern ones look the same as everything else to me

This is the only one I’ve got of one of the two 2100s I drove

Hullo Malc,
Wow! I’d almost forgotten that. It’s a while ago now since I let it go.
Cheers, Archie.

Those two Dafs look great Archie .

Hiya… here’s a DAF i had at coopers what a dream after 4 bedford KM’s you could get a good nights sleep
the best sleeper around at the time. after a few years i had another 4 wheeler E725 WFM it looked the same
as this one but that was a 1900 i have no photo’s

IIRC, the 2100 was superceded by the 1900 as the 16/18 ton 4 wheeler chassis around 1988/89, the 1900 had a smaller turbocharged engine where the 2100 for none drawbar applications had the naturally aspirated version of the ‘2300’ (tractor unit) engine. This is certainly what my mates 2100 had in it back then.

Hiya…all correct… coopers must have had 15… 4 wheelers with the DAF sleeper…you could sleep with the hatch open
where as the convertion sleeperes on other makes you had to sleep on top of the hatch…the answer to the wardarobe
YES it was more of a handy cupboard. i had a tele on the top shelf and clean undies on the bottom shelf plus some
personal items…

This is a proper DAF and the driver had a heart like a lion to drive it in the wind.

He has a new LF now with a smaller pod.

This one is parked next to a Whitetrux trailer

Ruddy hell thats bloody big pod , and one hell of a cargo space , Also thank you all for the info on Daf 2100 and 1900 .

Hiya …that little orange DAF must tave upstairs and down stairs inside that sleeper.

Bang on the money, there was a 2100 turbo version of the 8.25 engine but the 4 wheelers only got the non-turbo engine. The 1900 was a different kettle of fish though I never knew it was a smaller engine.

I can remember seeing them quite regularly in the mid 80s, for some reason I’ve got it in my head most were Bristol/ S Wales but my memory isn’t what … what were we talking about?
