ERF 1

Snudger:
So who is/was this “Sir Peter Foden”? When I typed that into Google, the only hit was this very thread. Very secretive fellow if there’s no mention of his name on the interweb.

He is part of the Foden family, who were responsible at one point for Foden Trucks and also (hence the plate) ERF trucks. ERF being short for Edwin Richard Foden, who set up the ERF company to specialise in Diesel engined trucks at a time when ‘Foden’ (the family business) were still producing steam-driven vehicles.
