How many 66's are left in the UK? Can't be many.

We think around 10, but maybe 15, almost certainly not more than that.
We do know that mine is the oldest left anywhere and the only 1975 (launch year) car left...... Which is why I'm spending so much time and attention, (ok and bloomin money!) on it!! I'll keep updating progress on the restoration as it goes......

HowManyLeft.co.uk says 7 licensed and 22 sorn, and yes only 1 from 1975. It says they are all GL autos. There are only 6 DAF 66s left too. So yes, pretty rare now.

Hope you haven't tossed that diaphragm centre, it being the exchange core.

However, it was my starting point to find out about mine, (I saw that it said only one 1975 car left and was interested!!), but I didn't believe it until I had completed research with the DVLA, Volvo OC, Daf OC, Volvo Heritage and Daf International. It does give a general view though and so is probably helpful from that point of view. Restoration of mine is well underway, btw, gearbox and mechanicals nearly done and into the body shop next Friday

I think there may be as many as 23 all in.
