I am feeling ever sooo sorry for you “Buzzer” .
I thought you southerners used £50 notes as wallpaper . ![]()
O.K. , then ,…heres the answer to the E.R.Fs. location. One point for it being “behind a wire gate” , as you say.
it was parked in a yard on sunny Malta .
Maybe someone might recognise the reg. no.

We had Leyland Cheetah single deckers (at least 2 mebbe more. 1957,
long time ago) at W Alexander &Son, Grangemouth garage with AEC 7.7 engines, boy could they pull on a hill.

Hi “Oiltreader” ,
Thanks for the pic. of the E.R.F. on Malta .
Maybe this cab is another one from the same Brighouse company , the only difference being the grey paint
on the name Brighouse. I took this photograph at Burmarrad Commercials compound` when on holiday in Malta last November .
Cheers , cattle wagon man.

This volvo f7 car transporter is like the one my dad use to drive.
I think it is like it I was not born when he owned it I have just been told about it

Hi CWM , do Burmarrad Commercials still import a few ERFs, ? they certainly did a good few years ago but appear to have moved on to more modern continental trucks now.A few pictures of courteous of Mick Hird from 70s 80s 90s
