Lucky sod. I think ERFs are the bees knees but not everyone agrees with me. I was raised on em back in the 80’s. Can’t beat a B series 8 wheeler loaded up with 19 tons of Britain’s finest coal.

Here’s one I used to drive, this one had an Eaton Twin Splitter gearbox.

As I have posted on the O/D Forum, you can’t beat an EC14 with twin split and vertical exhaust.

Chuck away the radio, and listen.

ERF C series is probably one of the best looking trucks ever to have rolled off of an assembly line.

If only ERF had been prepared to comply with emissions standards then they might still be going today.

You might well be right, but my understanding is that the demise of British truck manufacturing was largely due to ■■■■■■■ and Gardner being unable or unwilling to develop new engines which met tightening eu emissions standards.

Dan will not see much through the nearside mirror the way it is angled Rob, only his own handsome features! Maybe that’s why it is set like that eh? :sunglasses:
