DAF 66 Marathon 1300 Coupe 1974 in excellent condition

This sporty DAF 1300 Marathon Coupe was first delivered in 1974 and is finished in the beautiful Neona Yellow colour exactly as shown in the original sales brochure. The exterior is in excellent condition and the paintwork has a deep glossy finish. As expected for a classic of this age there are a few minor signs of use which only add to its authentic character.

The distinctive Marathon appearance is highlighted by the twin front grille with auxiliary driving lights the original Marathon side stripes the special Marathon wheels fitted with new tyres and the original DAF bumper overriders. It is a true eye catcher and an absolute pleasure to drive.

The interior is equally impressive. The original high back Marathon seats and rear bench are in excellent condition with very little sign of wear. The wood effect dashboard together with the unique Marathon centre console featuring a clock and vacuum gauge completes the sporty interior. All instruments and controls operate exactly as they should.

Mechanically this DAF has been maintained to a very high standard. The original 1298 cc Marathon engine runs smoothly responds eagerly and delivers the lively performance that made the Marathon model so popular. It keeps up effortlessly with modern traffic and benefits from excellent maintenance supported by a collection of service invoices.

The Variomatic transmission was fully rebuilt and balanced in the past resulting in exceptionally smooth performance. When pulling away the transmission produces the characteristic Variomatic whistle before settling into almost silent operation exactly as it should.

If you are looking for a sporty well maintained DAF that is ready to enjoy on classic car tours and sunny weekend drives this 1974 DAF 1300 Marathon Coupe is an excellent choice.
