Regarding the above high-roofed E-series, REVS member Jerry Cooke has just been in touch with me and kindly filled me in on the history. There were only 5 of these built.
- The LHD ‘Norseman’ unit with 410 ■■■■■■■ and SAMT.
- The Jona unit pictured above. This one was new to S Jones of Aldridge and had a ■■■■■■■ 410 and Twin-splitter. Jona later increased its output to 450. Its third axle was a lift-and-steer job.
- Derry Bros in Ireland had the third.
- The fourth one was a 4x2 with a 380 ■■■■■■■ and went to Saville Freight of Bristol.
- The fifth one was a rigid 4x2 and went to Britax. I’ve found a picture of it (below).
Cheers, Robert
