Dont see many of those late high-roof E series, i remember an owner driver having a LHD E14-410 with that cab, and a firm called Jona Haulage ran one on container work, and apart from one i saw photographed outside the Sunworks, i think those are the only examples ive seen. Does anybody know how many were made?, cant be many, as the EC wasnt to far from being launched.

i was told there was the lhd and this one.i drove it at jones’s for a few months before they sold it and had a new fleet of ec’s

the one Jonah had was the one in the photo, i remember it in a state last time i saw it in the yard at Westgate, think it went to cornwall or devon after

when i had it,it was febuary/march 1995.i was told it had been a demonstrater round westgate so that might have explained a few things missing inside,curtains etc.they sold it around end 95/start 96.but it was a sweet motor :slight_smile:

i think this is the truck you mentioned
the left hand drive e14
465 big cam twin split
the guy was called Geoff walker from scunthorpe
i some times see him ,i will try find out what happened to the old girl
i ran 15 E series ERF’s on the NISA job at the same time
