Indeed, I owned a 1975 model DAF 66 for a couple of years back in 1985.
The fun thing about that belt drive system was you could drive just as
quickly backwards as forwards, if you chose to be both stupid and
careful at the same time

Absolutely. I remember one time in around 1975, I was driving up
through Alton when a DAF shot off a garage forecourt, in reverse, across
the main road and came to rest against the stone wall opposite. In the
driving seat was a bewildered-looking toddler, running behind the car
was an anxious-looking father! I just managed to stop in time to avoid
the collision.
