So you were cadging drinks even then? That’s how you got to be so rich. 
Hi Dennis, as the caption on the photo states it is a 66GX model. denoting a 6 wheel, 6 cylinder G Gardner X = 150 or 6LX. That specification of an ERF made for a really good motor as I can personally vouch for having operated one ex Jeff Stamper for 4 years. Better than those ■■■■■■■ Daganham Dustbins our marra was operating part of the time. Yuk.!
Cheers, Leyland 600.

I have to declare an interest here Gerald 
My first new motor was a ■■■■■■■ V8 D1000 4 wheeler and I also purchased at later dates two V8 Perkins Mastiff tractor units 
But I can say mine were treated with the greatest respect even though they were worked hard ! And I can say that during the time I ran them all three gave faultless service and IIRC the most serious niggle was a bit of fuel starvation on the 28 ton Mastiff when it was new which was quickly sorted otherwise the engines weren’t touched. By the time I started disposing of them at 3 year old there was just a faint sniff of burnt oil from the 26 ton unit but nothing to worry about. But no way did our V8’s get the thrashing our Marra would give his eh! 
As a matter of interest did AHB run a 4 wheeler D1000 with a V8 ■■■■■■■ ? Cheers Dennis.

Three of the five ex WCBP R 112’s I bought waiting in the depot to go into the paint shop, the K. Fell 111 was ready to leave the depot to join Lancaster & District Training ( RTITB) who had bought it from us as it had a 5 speed box, they stretched it to a 6wheeler flat and I believe it ended up on the IOM so Chris Webb could have driven it on neets !
Cheers Bewick.
