ERF ec the last proper ERF

Good or bad the last ones . Stories and pictures . Tony

Hi dan thanks for sending your picture i thought no one was going to send nothing in ! Tony

image.jpghave another ,they are great for young drivers who don’t know any different ,Chris who drives this one says don’t give me the daf I don’t like using the clutch.as far as he knows its a modern automatic ha ha.

Sadler Tankers ran quite a few EC10 & EC11 models, M reg like these two and then later on R & T reg.Both sleeper and day cab versions.





The two in Cadbury livery were also operated by James Nuttall Transport Ltd

I drove about ten of them during my time at Sadlers, usually as holiday relief, my ‘own’ tractor unit was a DAF 95 which was a good tool but every time I got an ERF I didn’t want to give it back. I loved them and in my next job got an EC11. Here’s a photo of me tipping gas oil at GB fuels Gateshead probably in 1998. Regards, Mizzo.

One I had which did all it said on the can and kept up with all the big Volvos and Scanias we had and didn’t
Go rusty. It had a big ■■■■■■■ and a 13 speed fuller road ranger .

Hi all,
My mate ran this EC Olympic 500 ■■■■■■■■■■ bought it back in June 2000.

I always thought both the E series and EC were fine trucks…robust,easy to maintain,economical and good performers, and most of all, very easy to keep on the road. It’s a shame production in the UK ceased…I remember at the time hoping someone like JCB would take it over and make both the brand & the product stronger. Was the ECX not an improvement on the EC? I know they had a few teething problems but having recently driven a few well worked ECX’s, they are still a fine truck.

Funny enough, I still think there is a niche market for a modern truck range like the ERF EC/ECX in todays market.

Yes I agree river stick . Tony
