DAF A1300 – early 1960s truck series from Eindhoven, six-cylinder engines of 4,752 to 4,777cc, 3,210 to 9,368kg kerb weight
DAF, based in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, built the A series in the 1960s, before the later F series took over the model designations; suffixes such as BA360, C406 and DA468 denote chassis and engine variants within the series. The A series followed DAF's first post-war trucks and marks the transition to more modern cab-over cabs at DAF.

The register lists 6 versions of 4,752 to 4,777cc from six-cylinder engines, kerb weights of 3,210 to 9,368kg, gross vehicle weights of 3,500 to 10,300kg, lengths of 6,300 to 8,200mm and widths of 2,200 to 2,300mm.
As a medium-duty truck the A series served haulage and construction in the Netherlands and the rest of Western Europe, and belongs to DAF's early, independent truck production before the later F series. With payloads in the medium segment, the A series filled the gap between light vans and the manufacturer's heavy long-haul trucks, while being simpler to service at independent workshops.
When buying: check for corrosion on the frame, cab and load floor, the condition of the injection pump and engine bearings, the clutch and brake system after decades of use, and the condition of the propshaft, leaf springs and suspension bushes; spare parts for these classics are now available almost exclusively through specialists and DAF enthusiast networks.
