Hiya lads …I found the ERF last saturday in Malta the reg was ALV 467 S its a day cab with a Gardner under the bonnet

Three possibilities spring to mind with regard to the original owners of this one:
(1) Allied Mills at Seaforth, who were running an almost exclusively 8LXB-engined B-Series fleet when this was new
(2) Hansons Dairy on Long Lane, Aintree
(3) Guinness at Runcorn
Sutton’s even?
Every chance of it being a Suttons wagon Chris - well spotted.
The way to tell if it was an Allied Mills (Seaforth or Ainscoughs) motor would be if it had a fabricated step down from the battery carrier on the nearside of the chassis. They all had them - made out of chequerplate, with a matching chequerplate/timber cover over the batteries.
