5thDragoon:
The heavy duty bumpers were a throw back to early ADR regulations when there was a requirement for the tanks to have adequate protection front and rear, the tank rear was part of the tank build, but the front obtained its protection by beefing up the tractor unit. When tilt cabs came on the scene with the Ergo cab from the Leyland group the “cowcatcher” had to be hinged and able to drop down which turned out to be a back breaker.
Thank you! Robert

cheers Johnnie
In general…as I am not familiar with UK-registrations and their relevant location, are the following registrations
also in High Wycombe? Also specific information on the relevant chassis is welcome.

Thank you Robert! I raised these registrations because it could indicate that the relevant chassis
(ERF A) were also NGCs…and perhaps the registration ring a bell somewhere…

I’m glad you posted that 5th Dragoon because I have been racking my brain to remember that name. I got the Pete van part but I couldn’t recollect the Ess. I remember him paying a visit to Rushden workshops back in the late 1970’s.
This picture was posted earlier on in this thread. Does anyone know where the picture actually came from? It is clearly a photo of a photo taken with an I-phone or camera. But is the original picture just a photograph or is it in a book, a brochure or something. I’d be interested to know. Cheers, Robert
This looks like the same vehicle or a similar one parked up on the Continent. The unit, by the way, is an ERF NGC ‘European’. Robert
