Watch: The oldest Daf truck still in commercial use
Daf has found the oldest Daf truck still in commercial use following an international search. The 50 year-old truck was found as part of an international search to celebrate the manufacturer’s 90th birthday.

The search was launched with a video on social media, which has since been viewed almost half a million times. Responses reportedly “poured in from all over the world”, but the oldest truck was found virtually in the back garden of the Daf factory in Eindhoven, in the village of Bakel. Owned by family-run Dutch fairground business Hoefnagels, the Daf A1600 is used almost every day for commercial use.
Frits Hoefnagels (pictured) said: “Our attraction is a cake walk. We use our Daf trucks to transport our ‘Lunapark’ attraction, and the trucks were new when we added them to our fleet. “The Lunapark goes into storage over the winter, but other than that we are on the move from early spring until late autumn, taking this huge building set from fairground to fairground.
“In addition to a 2800 from 1975 and a 1600 from 1971, we have two A1600s. One of our Daf ‘kikkers’ — so called due to their ‘frog-like’ appearance — is from 1968, and the other from 1969. And we don’t take it easy on them.
“We are delighted to own and drive the oldest Daf still in commercial use: a A1600 from 1968.”
A daytime tour of Edinburgh’s most haunted vaults – and we’re the only people with access.
This tour is perfect for a peek into the city’s ghostly past, because things don’t only go bump in the night. The true history of the Blair Street Underground Vaults is terrifying enough – so abandon thoughts of manufactured frights and make-believe. The skill is in the storytelling: the vaults witnessed the deeds of mischief-makers and murderers, vagrants and torturers. It’s one of Edinburgh’s most haunted sites, where restless spirits still tread.
Want see Edinburgh’s haunted vaults? Explore them exclusively with Mercat Tours.
First you’ll follow your cloaked Mercat guide through the shadowy closes of Edinburgh’s Old Town. These are dark streets untouched by daylight, filled with a strange silence, their damp walls carrying only the faintest echo of the crowds on the high street you’ve left behind. With the scene set, you’ll descend into the depths of the city – and listen in horror to its dark and sinister side. Torture. Murder. Hangings. From body snatchers to the real-life Jekyll and Hyde, you’ll be gripped by the true tales that lie hidden beneath Edinburgh’s streets. Watch out for a cold breath on the back of the neck, a whisper, a flicker – then silence. It’s all the more chilling for being absolutely real: there are no tricks or jump scares on our ghost tours.
Why not combine your visit to the Edinburgh Walking Tour with other famous attractions and activities in Edinburgh such as Royal Yacht Britannia or Edinburgh City Sightseeing Tour?
