2k: Are You Daft Man?: 1973 DAF 66SL RHD

 Okay before the hate starts pouring in (re; Thorsday badge), we have to admit that Dutch people are in fact not Scandinavian or even Nordic.  The Netherlands is located in geographically speaking in the nether-regions of Nordic Europe...well..due south of Denmark (home of Lego) and is home to PACCAR subsidiary DAF Trucks, which many years ago dabbled in small economy cars for the European market.  Confused? Don't be.  It is very simple.  DAF was a company founded in 1928 under the name Commanditaire Vennootschap Hub van Doorne's Machinefabriek and the 66 SL is a small economy car built in the Netherlands  (sometimes mistakenly called Holland, which is a region in the Kingdom of the Netherlands) during the 1970s by Dutch speaking Dutch folk (not Danish speaking Danes - they build Lego cars in Denmark and bake those delicious Danish butter cookies sold in large tins).  Find this 1973 DAF 66SL right-hand-drive for sale in Granite Falls, WA for the bargain price of $2450 via craigslist.
