TautlinerTerry:
Hello everyone and how are you?? At long last I’ve scanned in three pics of a Simonds ERF. This Lorry is a Tug and used to pull a drawbar trailer and it dates from the 1930’s era (I’m not sure exactly when). It was restored by Courages and sat in The Berkshire Brewery, Reading. I took these shots in 1993 and as now the brewery has shut I wonder what happened to it? Does anyone know?

Hi Terry, The ERF in question (CRD 10) was delivered to the Simonds brewery in 1936, one of a fleet. I can’t remember how many there were in the fleet but it was more than 10. I remember seeing a photo of them all lined up together. The Reading Evening Post or Reading Chronicle ran a story on it just after it was restored in 1986 I think.
I have quite a few photos of it before, and after being restored, in colour.
I was an apprentice Diesel fitter at the Berkshire Brewery at the time and was very involved in it’s restoration.If anyone is interested I will scan the photos and include them. This ERF was last used as a showmans lorry until it was abandoned in a field near Reading. The farmer who owned the field contacted the Brewery after the showmans paint started to flake off and revealed the original Simonds paintwork underneath.

If you have more photos Mike please put them on, there will be plenty of interest. I did a job out of the brewery a few times years ago, and seem to remember it being parked there.
