Body shapes: Sedan Combi Van Pick-up
"The ideal partner" and "Your window view on freedom"

Daf 33 Sedan

About 768 remaining in the Netherlands source: RDW (2023)

Version:    Standard / Comfort / de Luxe
Years of construction:    1967 - 1974
Produced:    106.534 (19.010 Standard and 87.524 de Luxe)

Externally, the 5 chrome strips of the Daffodil 32 made way for a 33 logo with 1 chrome strip with a chrome strip on the thickened part underneath. After the last facelift it got a rubber strip with 2 chrome strips and Daf 33 inscription. A different camshaft increased the power to 32 hp. The top speed rises to 112 km/h.

 In terms of safety, the 33 benefited from new features: seat belt anchorages, and the front seats were equipped with a locking device that prevented them from folding forward in the event of a collision.

The first type Daf 33 was available in the trim levels Standard (now with windscreen washer and stainless steel bumpers, but a completely mouse gray interior and the red rear lights of a Daf 750) and Luxury (with double clocks in the dashboard and the 'LE ventilation' of predecessor Daffodil 32 LE). From the 2nd type Daf 33, the Standard version was renamed Comfort, with enlarged rear lights (with the exception of the 33 Pick-up).

In September 1972, the outdated 6-volt system was replaced by a 12-volt installation, the almost only technical adjustment compared to its predecessor Daffodil (Daf 32).

 

 

Daf 33 Combi

About 15 remaining in the Netherlands source: RDW (2023)

Version:    Standard / Comfort
Years of construction:    1967 - 1974
Produced:    4.111

Externally, the Combi differs from the Sedan due to the different body structure after the front seats. This superstructure has room for a spacious rear seat and plenty of storage space. The storage space can be reached through a large door. With the rear seats folded down, a luggage space of almost 1 m3 is created: nothing needs to be left at home on holiday. The equipment is the same as the Standard (1st type)/Comfort (2nd type) of the 33 Sedan.

 

Daf 33 Van

About 54 remaining in the Netherlands source: RDW (2023)

Years of construction:    1967 - 1974
Produced:    19.445

A workhorse that was loved by government services such as the Royal Dutch Mail (PTT) and Directorate General for Public Works and Water Management (Rijkswaterstaat). The Van is up to the B-pillar similar to the Sedan; the body has a different shape with maximum storage space and a large door. A top speed of 105 km/h is more than sufficient for governmental work.

 

Daf 33 Pick-up

About 9 remaining in the Netherlands source: RDW (2023)

Years of construction:    1967 - 1971
Produced:    1.528

A workhorse that was loved by government services such as the Royal Dutch Mail (PTT) and Directorate General for Public Works and Water Management (Rijkswaterstaat). The 33 Pick-up is also equal to the Sedan up to the B-pillar; the body continues but the rear part consists of a large cargo box with a flap. The cargo box can be closed with a hood. A top speed of 105 km/h is more than sufficient for governmental work.
