Chronology
Predecessor	DAF Daffodil

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, 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.[1]

The DAF 33, in common with other DAF cars, featured a continuously variable transmission system, the DAF Variomatic.
