It's a shame the Daf guys are only interested in 300's for the vario ness, lots of manual mk1's seem to get ignored and auto mk2/3's lost to them :(

Nose cone on that one looks rough, shame theres not some more pictures.

Equally Chris you can flip that statement on its head. I've seen perfectly good Varios ignored or butchered. Either the auto being undesirable or a belt drive CVT being doubly so.

Yeah, I guess so mate. I'm glad there's finally starting to be a bit of crossover between V3M and the Daf lot, hopefully they'll be a blurring of the auto/manual type lot.

I wonder how good/bad/ugly it is. Shame to see it broken if it's tidy.

cheers

Hi all.
I e-mailed the bloke asking if it had a centre consol gauge panel. It did not.
He sent me a few photos of the interier and it looked spot on.
I told him about V3M so he might get it on here.
Cheers Mark. sm4
