Predecessor | DAF Daffodil |
Successor | DAF 44 |
1966 had seen the introduction of the Michelotti styled DAF 44 which appeared to compete in virtually the same market segment as the Daffodil-based design; but the 33, its development costs presumably long since amortised,[citation needed] remained in production with its new name. A more luxurious version became available in 1969. Thereafter the car changed very little: however, the 6 volt electrical system was replaced with a 12 volt one in 1972.[citation needed]
The DAF 33, in common with other DAF cars, featured a continuously variable transmission system, the DAF Variomatic.
