The 55 was developed to be a more powerful version of the 1966 DAF 44. Avaiable as a Saloon, Coupe and Station Wagon with front disc brakes and all indepandant suspension. Powered by a Renault 1108cc R8 engine ,Uprated from 1972 to the 63bhp Marathon specification. Transmission was by way of variable stepless V-belt drive.

 

The saloon was launched at the end of 1967 the Coupe three months later and the Estate from September 1968. In August 1969 there was a minor facelift of the whole model range and a delivery version became available, essentially a 55 estate without a rear seat. After the success of the DAF 55 in the London-Sydney Marathon, the 1971 dealer option 'Marathon' package in both Saloon and Coupe form was introduced with its engine upgraded to 63bhp and a top speed of 145kmph (91 mph).
