Left-Hand Drive B-series ERFs

robert1952:
Inevitably, some of these ended up on the Middle-East run, notably those run by Eric Vick (one was registered YRF 823S). Another of theirs was the only known LHD B-series with a Gardner 300 in existence; it had started life with a 350 ■■■■■■■ and had a tag-axle (TAF 365).

Lets clear up a little confusion here: YRF823S & TAF365 was one and the same truck. The tag axle and Gardner engine were fitted during it’s working life at the same time Eric started using private plates, mainly ending in EV. By taking the first number of the reg you had 1 to 9 EV:- 101EV 2570EV 9500EV and so on. TAF365 he allegedly bought for Bob Saunders, who originated from Pembrokeshire, who politely declined to have it on his truck so it was given to Irish Chris instead. :unamused: :confused:

That’s what’s known as a euphemism
