Although the 6o Series also took the Daf driveline, offering the option of i8ohp as well as 2mhp, the heavier 65 Series at 210 and more latterly 240hp is the more popular model. The modern cab gives the up-to-the-minute image demanded by so many own-account and specialised haulage operations today. The sleeper cab option is more popular with first-time buyers, adding to retail values as well as offering flexibility of operation. The driveline is wellproven and all the operators we talked to commended its reliability, while the latest 24ohp version, putting the torque where it matters most, is more economical than the earlier model. As one operator says: "If we had any complaints we would have told you." It's heavier than the 55 Series Leyland Daf 17tonner but better for the move to 18 tonnes.
