From a driver’s perspective, how was the old BMC derived G cab viewed compared with the Ergo?

Out of all the motors I had I’d say it was the best,n I thought the Ergo was a decent bit of kit. Cheers coomsey

In '64/'65ish I was given a new BMC(Morris) FJ (a revelation from the well worn Comet LAD cab I had). and in '67 I was given a new Ergo Mercury so for comparsion and talking cab comfort it would defo be the G cab, almost flat floor, spacious and sitting a bit higher than the Ergo but the BMC FJ cab did not have the “solid” build quality of the AEC cab. As for the mechanicals a choice of comfort with breakdowns or less comfort with reliabilty. My experience others may differ.
Oily
