The DAF variomatic is a pretty old car, made in the 60's and 70's:

I checked with a friend who has one about a lever. But there is
no lever for changing the drive ratio, since it is a complete
automatic, variomatic :-). You just have a lever that changes
the direction (drive or reverse). And because of that feature
they had a tv show in the 70's or 80's with Daf's racing each
other in reverse :-).
