Ramone yes I did but when you are 23 and keen you had a go at the job, no sleeper as such just a board over the engine lump on to the door window ledges, soon learnt to lock both doors or rope them together and that for £35 a week all in plus a fiddle or two, thought it was great back then but soon came to me senses, Buzzer

ERF E6, apparently still working for its keep. ‘B’ prefix would be 1984-ish, so 40 years old.

Somewhere up-thread was a mention of the high-spec Ergo-cabbed Leyland/ AEC. I stumbled across another one..
Apparently, Raketa (the Bulgarian state transport authority) ran a few of these. I daresay one or more of the elders on here might have encountered them.
I thought I recognised it. Who made the cab?
I don’t know but I always thought it was Sisu in Finland, but maybe (as its simplistic box like lines might suggest) it was built under licence in NI.
Dennison built the first batch of 75 units with the Motor Panels cab used by Foden, but decided to import the Sisu cab-shells, made by Sisu themselves.
Knights of the Road, well done lads.

“Shove a broom up me arse and I’ll sweep the yard at the same time” as someone once said.
Anyone who worked in and around London in the 70s and 80s will know this mob
The shape of things to come, as was
@les_sylphides will doubtless have seen this before, but here we are at the 1964 Earls Court motor show with an ERF LV with half the cab made of perspex:
Yes, in 1964 cut-away diagrams, drawings and models were very popular, largely because they were so educational. The more serious ‘comics’ or the era, like Look & Learn, Eagle-Swift etc were rife with cut-away cross-channel ferries, aircraft, buses and steam engines. I think that LV would look nice in my living room 
.
Bit like dissecting Rats , Sheeps eyeballs and Pigs gonads at school
Yes indeed! None of which would look as nice as a perspex ERF in my living room.
ERF were quite good at commissioning cutaway drawings for their publicity brochures. Here’s an NGC unit chassis and a rigid 8 B-series.
