As usual, asking a favour! Is there anyone within a reasonable driving distance of Huddersfield with a B series I could photograph and measure in the hope of making a model of one please? I got quite a few bits at Gaydon but could do with one I can have some time to crawl under and get into the interior of. Thanks in advance!!

my first erf i bought.

Not great quality but still worth posting I think. I think looking at the ram she was leaning a little but she survived :slight_smile: happy days

E.R.F. 6 wheeler tipper awaits its load of rubble , on the small island of Gozo , Malta.
Perhaps the cab has been transplanted from a tractor unit ?

Cheers , cattle wagon man.
