Hi Robert ,correct P106 BSS had a poxy 16 speed eaton which got scrapped and replaced with 13 speed fuller.
Hiya…i’am not to late am i.this ERF was new to Wardel,s at Lymm she was one flying machine like 80mph+.
she had a 13speed fuller a dream to drive with a big cam 290 under the bonnet, i tried to get feed back from
former drivers but got nothing. i do know by the amount of round spent cards under the bunk she liked been
parked in Arras or there about…VED 571S was the reg.I,was in Bangor tipping cast iron scrap from Sheffield

ooohhh-13 speed fuller,my fave gearbox !!
my father used to own a transcon with one(best motor he’s ever had)but i dont have any pics at the moment.,i had these MAN’s long term,both fitted with mr fullers 13 cogs,superb!even my three year old son liked the fuller box lol
the yellow one was a much rougher motor,but had a much nicer box,and was very high geared-(and a defective speed limiter

You are never too late John! And this is a timely example of a RHD 13-speed B-series, of which there were not so many around. Cheers! Robert
This had 13 speed fuller in it. I passed my class 1 in a four wheeler 291, the examiner at the test station was impressed !!
One in the photo was a 20.331 and went like the wind. The 291 wasn’t quite as fast, but still went well. MAN suited the 13 speed box very well, I always thought they changed better than with a ■■■■■■■ / 13 speed. The revs seemed to drop quicker in the MAN, to me at least.

As you probably know, I’m a school-teacher as well as a lorry driver. Over the last 41 years I’ve taught every age-group from 3 to 18; and I can assure you that 3-year-old boys are extremely discerning when it comes to lorries. When I taught in Rome some years ago, I commented to the head of ‘early years’ that the standard of pedal-car driving was astounding in the playground and that one particular 3-year-old drove far better than all the rest of the Italians in Rome. His teacher told me that his nickname was ‘Schumy’ (after Schumaker) and that his father was a world-class racing driver. I do find all this kind of stuff most humbling! Robert
This one had a 13 speed and 340 Rolls, the first 13speed i had driven, hope the owner of the pic doesn’t mind me posting.
