Hello all.

I have ERF LV - Reg - SRF 223G.
I have been told it was new to S Jones.
can any one confirm this.

I can confirm that it was an S Jones motor! It was a tipper unit from new and was badly damaged after hitting a lorry on the hard shoulder of the M1 in the mid 70s. The cab was a total write off and she stood in the yard for a few months during which time the diff gearbox and engine had been used in other fleet vehicles. The time came for a decision and the insurance said it would have to go back together so she had a new later cab fitted- a recon 180, a diff and a gearbox. She was also converted to a tanker, so she was firescreened and had a cargo pump and hand throttle fitted.

When she left the workshop, she was better than new!

If ever you want to sell the old gal let me know cheers Jona

Welcome to TruckNet, Jona! I look forward to some of your insights on the ERF threads (to which, of course, you have already made a massive contribution by proxy). Delighted to see you on here. Robert :smiley:
