ERF-NGC-European:
That’s a very useful reference indeed!
As it includes a reference to the NGC, perhaps you won’t mind if I repost the scans on the ERF 1975 thread !. Robert

No problem Robert spread the word
You may also like to take a look HERE at the history of ERF.

I wonder if this article by Peter J Davies will help some of you out there regarding the ERF cab designs.

[moomooland]

That Foden S80 sneaking up in the middle lane is operated by mail-order catalogue company Kay & Co Ltd, otherwise known as Kays, we had another shot of one of their Fodens below a few weeks ago…

The company had offices and warehouses in Worcester, Leeds, Glasgow, Newtown, Bradford, Bristol, Droitwich, Lancaster and York.
Great Universal acquired Kay & Company Ltd in 1937 and continued to run the Kays catalogue as a separate title within the GUS holding company.
On the 23rd of February 2007 Kays original depot in Worcester closed as part of the work to amalgamate Kays and Littlewoods under the new brand name ‘Shop Direct’.

Harpers leyland. Whats he towing ■■?

I may be wrong but I think Harpers worked for either Fords at Halewood or Vauxhalls at Ellesmere Port,so maybe car bodies??

[pete_smith]

Hi Dean,
The Guy is one of Craddock Brothers from Coven Heath,

[jshepguis]

The Foden looks as if it has the word Elsby on the front Dean.

I never clocked that on the front either! One of Ken Elsby’s then Dean,

[casual_observer]

Seems to be a bit of a hybrid power wise as well

Mind you, they are Volvo dealers, so you’d expect them to run mainly Volvos!

jshepguis:
The Calor Atkinson is a strange one a mark one cab on an N reg which would be Mark 2 Borderer era, wonder what the story is behind that?

I’d guess that it’s been rebuilt and re-registered at some time - Sutton’s used to do that after a major rebuild and ended up with some L-reg Mk.1s

Could be Chris, but it looked to me like it was possibly some sort of conveyor belt system ■■?

I had one of these off SVH at Mothers Pride Bakery Chesterfield in 1978 / 79 for a few months when I had additional inter-bakery trunking to cover. One of the nightly runs was to Gateshead and Newcastle, but my drivers preferred the newest Ford D Series we had, an R reg, over the Bedford, but then again the Ford had been fitted with a coach ratio diff for the A1. Nothing much passed that Ford at night on the A1.

That’s right car body shells.
I used to tell my little girl (little girl , she’s 32 now ) they were big horse boxes for giraffes.
I think Billingtons of Lancs, also pulled those trailers with their Atki Borderers…could be wrong.
