Yes Bostocks are still going with a white Daf 55 flat bed. That’s what I’ve seen anyway! Are Watts Brothers in photo 3 still operating?

This picture was also published in the brochure…a LBG303 (single drive) or LBG304 (double drive)
and had the Gardner 6LXB to move the 30tons
Thought I would add these two pictures of a couple of ERF’s that arrived in the park at the back of our house this morning (6th June 2015)
Here is the late Rex Horsman’s Transrex Olympic.
Thanks for that one, Ted. The last time I saw Rex he had the L10.

Yes both were immaculate, it was a sad day when ill health forced him to sell up. The L10 can still be seen in Transrex colours pulling a cattle trailer.

Very nice motor.
Some ERF beauties from this weekend’s ERF gathering at Kelsall. Robert
This ERF is on an F-plate, which was about '67 time. It’s a demo unit with Fuller Roadranger 'box. It says so on the roof headboard but I can’t read whether it says 9 or 10 speed. Very unusual for a 4x2 unit to have an LV crew-cab / sleeper-cab. Robert
Fact is that Eaton-Fuller wanted the market together with ■■■■■■■■ Since May 1961 ERF applied ■■■■■■■
(in fact then a NHK180) but then ‘only’ with Dabid Brown’s 657 gearbox…times changed.
Still working around Leicestershire, ■■■■■■■ sound great!!
