What a truly excellent picture ,check out the second steer mudgaurd on the right .
I remember this twin steer unit featuring in a Truck magazine test.
This was the vehicle I drove for Burmah petroleum, it had a ■■■■■■■ engine and the twin splitter. I had it for 5 years and never had any problems with it. Just after this photo was taken I was given a tri axle tank and was running at a higher weight.After 5 years the lease was up on the unit and I was given another ERF that had the twin splitter and I used that for another 5 years trouble free.

Looks a bit heavy!
Great photo Pete, I don’t know who owned this 240 G, ERF. but IIRC a owner driver had it in the 80s subbing for Fergusons of Blyth, He sold it & went into cattering IIRC, Regards Larry. PS Perhaps F Troop could remember him?

Hi Larry,
That’s what I like about this site,someone posts a photo of a lorry and someone else puts a face to the vehicle/operator, I would think it would be slow progress with that load! Cheer’s Pete

Hi Pete, IIRC The owner driver was called Chris Madgewick, It has a Edinburgh Reg, I would be interesting to know who had it from new, Regards Larry.

Cheer’s Jerry,
Wes sent me the pic, told me you used to give him a hand if you was in Cape Hill loading when he was working at Hartshornes! He sent me another pic of you standing beside a E series I think, may be one of Turners?, I will post it if I can find it on my phone, Cheer’s Pete
Pic got sent to me, so I do not know its source, will remove if it offends any one,
Hi Pete that photo was taken in the Isle of man in 2009 when I went with Graeme Turner to fetch it back to Hoole it was new as a demonstrater and then brought by Turners and used on a brewery job pulling a tank later on it ran on a furniture job before being sold to the isle of man Graeme then brought it back and restored into Turners colors
