It looks like an MAN XLX cab to me which will rule out ERF. Also looks like factory fit beacons on roof possibly in factory red and a 4x2. That should narrow it down quite a lot as I think most artic manufacturers only sell about 10% of their output as a 4x2 and most of those are shopping trolleys. Couldnt tell if it might have been a left ■■■■■■ though.
Defo a man not tall enough for ecx .

Hi lance,
Not sure of the engine in the 400.i remember watching the old man working on and painting new 400 s.a. Sleepers,some had twin windows,others had a large single side glass.
That’s an ERF m8 have you been on the beer run at Gayton
