ERF-Continental:
ERF-NGC-European:
Another frustratingly elusive NGC is this one. Punchy Dan posted the advert on another thread. It’s the advert that ‘Saviem’ John referred to, which he’d spotted in Holland. However it still tells us nothing new. This unit still remains No.81 on my register. We still don’t know who owned it, or to whom it was eventually sold. UNLESS, of course, that company’s records still exist somewhere, in which case they’ll show who owned before AND who owned it next (fat chance of that!).Ro

EDIT to show which publication Dan found the advert in

EDIT again, to add - Actually it DOES tell us something new: the dealer’s name and the publication in which the advert appeared! Ro
That’s true but strange Bestebreurtje (as DAF-dealer) from Rijsoord advertised and NOT BEST Truck from Oud-Beijerland as ERF-importer
That’s true. But P. Bestebreurtje was, after all, WT Bestebreurtje’s brother so it’s likely that some cooperation existed between them, especially as they combined later to open Best Trucks in Barendrecht, Dordrecht, Europoort and Oude-Tonge. Perhaps they had more capacity at Rijsoord (or were refurbishing premises at Oud-Beijerland or something similar) so the ERFs ended up under a DAF dealership. As you say, it is strange but true! Ro
