At the lighter end of the market, what a welcome sight they were back in 1960. Almost a sleeper cab…if you weren’t too big of course.

Well, the original Aussie pic from further up the page is a Western Star built at Sandbach, after Western Star became the holding company for ERF. The blurry picture is clearly a pre-production ERF EC, which didn’t go into full production until May 1993.

Cheers,

Larry the SM registration was the original Dumfriesshire registration mark one frequently seen here in ■■■■■■■ as we are the neighbouring county. If you can recall Road Services Caledonian 90% of their wagons bore an SM number. I wonder who SM 4 belonged to originally.?

If memory serves it was Enzo Ferarri who christened Bentley, “The fastest lorries in the world” due to the strength and weight of the cars.

Ettore Buggati actually ROF, but he was still an Italian so you were on the right (race) track.
