Re the DAF.....an aunt, whose husband ran a Jag dealership, was indulged by uncle with cars which included MGBs, Lancia Fulvia, Dolomite Sprint and a pair of Fiat 124s the last of which she had a head-on collision in which rather knocked her confidence. Having heard a lot about the safety of Volvos she replaced the 124 with one without trying it first, but this was a Variomatic by this time badged as Volvo. Didn't keep that for long
