I dont know anything about the above ERFs, but heres another ERF you dont see many of, used by Cadwallader from Oswestry, with a steel cab for use on continental work.
This wagon was later converted to RHD.

Thats the one in Pat Kennets ERF book isnt it? Do any of these Motor Panels cabbed ERFs still exist? Its the same basic cab that a lot of British manufacturers used, including Guy and Seddon. Also FTF used it in Holland IIRC.
John Ward from Oadby, near Leicester had one in preservation for a while and sold it on. I have a picture of it somewhere.

I was present, having arranged to supply the ex-Bowker Borderer for the test, and dined with them on the evening between the two days’ testing. I also helped advise Andy Salter on suitable vehicles and weights beforehand: his original idea was to go over Kirkby Stephen and Brough and, of course, those who know me will know that I wanted to be running at full weight!!

I’ve just been reading it again - yes Chris, the sanding has stopped for the day. I got serious grief for leaving a layer of dust over everything in the house, then I broke the vacuum cleaner and had to shell out £33 for replacement parts.
The day started so well…
You know TC tells me? DIY stands for “Don’t Involve Yourself”!!
Yes - I concur with his view.
I’ve been putting this particular venture off for 5 years - and I wish I hadn’t started it…
TC & I are now officially depressed due to DIY.
I remember seeing those ERF’s on the road,didn’t they have double skinned roofs with air-con on the top,at the time I was driving round in a 4wheel TK Bedford,I dreamed about going to the ME in one of those.
