Strange drivers window?

The ‘sliding window’ was part of a lightweight spec offered on some tractor units and M series I believe.

I drove quite a few ECs and every time I approached one I hadn’t driven before I kept my fingers crossed it had a Twin-splitter and not the awful Eaton ‘S’ synchro 'box. If you think the 16-speed version was bad, just try the 12-speed which was just a 16-speed with the splitter blanked off in low range! Robert

Hi all

This has become available for sale - the last ERF built, with all the supporting paperwork, and matching no plate. My good friend Simon Woolliscroft has it in his yard. Check it out at woolliscroftgarageservices.com. Can anyone shed any light on its history ■■

What a great picture that bottom one is! I love the way those Mollicroft skylights run down the roof and curvasiously recess into the rear bulkhead: most ingenious. Robert
