What are the views on ERF C or E series and Foden fleetmasters on M/E work?

Can’t think of any ERF C-series, E-series or Foden Fleetmasters that went down there off hand; but loads of ERF B-series did! Many of them had LHD. Some companies like Trans Arabia, Caravan, Star Commercial, CAMEL and Taseco ran ‘internal’ fleets of them out in the Gulf and thought highly of them (see the Trans Arabia thread). Taseco ran hundreds of them, including C-series. Companies and O/Ds that ran B-series ERFs overland included Manadient, Beresford, Eric Vick, Peter the Plod, Duxbury, Richard Read, Nick Bull, John Hallaway and CVH. There were others, of course. To be fair on the E-series, Middles-East work was fast drying up by the time they became popular. Hope that helps. Robert
