A rare motor that one.
A very early ‘Long Door’ ERF LV. This is the Jennings version built mainly in 1963 and early 1964.
Thanks for posting it!.
Taken me a while to get round to this (about a year)…
I have a quick question for you Marc.
Your relatives ERF B Series pictured above in BRS colours - XUA907X. It was featured in the CVC mag a few years ago, but why does the big photo on the front cover show the lorry to have a LHD cab (wiper sweep), the RR badge on the opposite side of the grille and the fuel tank on the opposite side of the chassis?. It has always bugged me - the photos inside the mag are all correct!.

this is XUA 907X when owned by thomas armstrong with a irish plate can only think they may have got the negative the wrong way round for the cover pic

Yes, I had that thought, but the number plate, steering wheel, ERF letters and even the wording on the RR badge are all the right way round. It seems a lot of work to reverse these individually with the likes of Photoshop, but I think you may be right.
I wonder why they did it?.
A shot of 3 out of the 4 “A” series we ran at Bewick Transport shot in the old yard in Milnthorpe about mid '76.
A shot of one of a number of 8LXB “B” series we ran shot here on the outskirts of Congleton after I had collected a new Bo-Alloy Tautliner from the factory.
Here’s a shot I was given by the chap who’d taken it - from up on the grain silo at Seaforth Mill - his motor is on the far left:
Some Bs and Cs (one of the very first is the one on the right of the facing lineup) there - as well as the very last wagon which ran out of James Fairclough’s mill at Bank Quay, Warrington before it moved to Seaforth - the 401 at the back of the line-up on the right.
A shot of another 8LXB “B” series thats just pulled into the depot loaded with scrap steel plate.We ran the day cabbed “B” series on double shift operation from new they were all specced with Eaton axles/Fuller 9509 drive trains and they gave us reliable service.
Last one to-night,a shot taken in the depot of the last two “A” series we ran.The one on the left was an 8LXB/Fuller 9509/Kirkstall HR which we supplied new to a local owner driver in circa '75 and bought it back off him in 78/79?.It had about 130,000 miles on the clock (genuine) and was just “run in”.The unit on the right was a 6LXB/Fuller 609/Kirkstall HR which we got new into service Jan 76.Both these tractors gave us excellent service.
