This one belongs to a friend and fellow REVS member. Thanks to Neil for allowing us to take it out. One of the last E series built and really a time capsule of how it was when it was a working truck.
Surprised they’re not still running it, lol
Looks a ■■■■ sight better than the Daf they trained me in.

This evening I just thought I’d give you fanciers of the wonderful E-series a sprinkling of feel-good pics pillaged from around the net. Robert 
Evening all, interesting discussion this.
I was never an ERF fan, (how could anyone selling Atkinsons, let alone being “brought up on Fodens”), be a fan of Sanbach`s no 2 product■■?
Yet when my own brass was invested in my own lorries, I was forced, (and b… quickly), to look at true operational costs…and what what my heart told me was best!!!
C Serie ERFs were good value to run, I made money out of a hire contract with Calor…and only because of just how low pence per Km were the Cs to operate…
Then came the E serie, great to drive, particularly ■■■■■■■ Fuller.(and I had Twin Splitters, as well as straight 9 speed, for some applications), …so they won my heart as a driver…
Then to the real “financial” heart of the matter…they were really cheap to operate…they stood abuse from poor drivers…and gave of their best, (and a great sense of pleasure), to real drivers…The E rewarded the skillfull man!
I could bore you all no end with interminable charts of figures to prove my argument, …That the E series was in my opinion the best ERF tractive unit ever made…(.but there were better, far better rigids)…but the tractor was perhaps the finest UK produced lorry ever…and in its day, as a tool to make money with, on UK operations, had no rival, let alone the expensive Swedish, German , Italian, and Dutch alternatives.
ERF E Serie, oh why did I never keep one■■?
Cheerio for now.
Mick Jones of Jona Transport had one of those rare and impressive high-roof ‘specials’ made to order by ERF. This one was tweeked to 450 (■■■■■■■■■ I posted a couple of pics of these on the ERF European 1975 thread. But he’s sent me some more so I’m placing them on here for you. Robert
And on the subject of high-roofed E-series ERFs, here are some more. Robert
