I’ve squinted at all 3 pics of the ITS Atki Borderer with the white ERF B-series sleeper cab, and cannot identify either one of them. I used to have a camera which took pictures like that back in the day. Dai, I don’t suppose you remember which ones they are? If you do, I may be able to add some detail as per usual.

Hi Andrew P, the grey prime E.R.F, was bought in 1980. The reg no should have been FWN 149W,Later being reg as KEP 774X.The erf further back I cant identify but the one on the right with the atky crash bar as a bumper is OEP 716R.
