ERF anorak alert… the top 2x photo’s are a C series cab with a mk1 E series drivers seat retro-fitted :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

Had a heated discussion with someone today who thought there was nothing wrong with frilly curtains pulled across the side windows whilst driving. Also I’d be bang out of order to take them out if I drove a lorry with said window dressings fitted.
I’m a lorry driver, not a trucker :laughing: .

Dont argue with em just laugh,they would be on the bed if i was driving 1 with them fitted.I once took a motor for a couple of days with flags and teddy bears in the window ,they ended up behind the passenger seat til id finished with it then i put em back in the window again but didn`t get them in the right order ,the lad that drove the motor had a go until i told him he was wearing long pants now and to grow up :wink:

It was nothing extra at all in the cab of the second F10 I got to drive in 1981, and I slept very well in it… despite the lack of an expensive interior :grimacing:

/Stellan[/quo i mean the magnum & topline :confused:

I almost guessed that, but I could not resist teasing a little… I´m not a fan of bling either :smiley: :stuck_out_tongue: :wink: . I´ve always seen it as a working place; easy to clean, adapted to its purpose and not cluttered with a lot of unnecessary things. But the traffic today is a lot more stressful, so a padded cell maybe is needed. :grimacing:

Another non-bling-cab from the sixties

Not a photo but a scan from my old handbook.

Any guesses as to what it represents.

Scammell Highwayman?

No, a few years after that.

The steering wheel boss reminds me of Volvo; Just thinking of something with a split screen post '60s…
Too easy to be Foden, one of those longnose Mercs?

It looks like a Scammell Routeman to me Russell.Around the early 70s :confused:but then again maybe not :blush:

Routemans only looked good with ladkarn written on them :slight_smile:

Near enough John.

It is the Scammell Handyman, I got it new in 1970, it had the David Brown gear box instead of the Scammell gate box and the bare fibreglass interior was trimmed in dark red padding, including the bonnet. I made a hook out of a coat hanger so I could operate the wipers without standing up, the switch was right up under the cab light (number 19 in diagram). The later model had rectangular headlights instead of the twins, they were brought out about two years later.

The Routeman had a similar cab layout, we had a few with the Scammell box but we only bought artics after about 1966.

Picture of the one I got in 1970 below. I had it on Shell Chemicals until I got a M reg Marathon in 1974.

One more for you to guess at John.

and what is this below.

Yes, that’s right - quote a lot of factory photos were taken in the car park of the Bridge Inn, and even a few down on the “beach” by the river.
