One of those discussions got fairly heated recently and culminated in an organised knife fight in a 20 yard skip on an industrial estate in slough. The thing is it would go so far over the other members on here’s head it just isn’t worth talking about. I have to admit, as an enthusiast rather than an end user, my knowledge of ERF is quite extensive. They were ultimately made in Sandbach by one of the Foden brothers. Supplied with either Gardner or Cummins diesels, later with Rolls Royce eagles, equipped with Fuller Roadranger boxes and 2 speed axles. Eventually taken over by MAN trucks, and the last were nothing more than rebadged MANs. The old A series were quite an experience, floor vents that when opened you could see the tarmac, a radio that couldn't be heard over the engine/exhaust noise or the interference from the alternator. Heating that was non existent and having to cover half the radiator with a sack in winter to get the engine up to temperature. @JonC What do you mean "Not that ERF?"
