ERF 'European' (1975)

Well, the ERF just pipped the 140 in Pat Kennett’s 1975 Euro Test for Truck magazine. And if it’s a 111, then the ERF will be the better performer I reckon.

Closer in view of new Groenenboom pic:

Yet another pic of No.49 on the reg (06-09-TB in the livery of Groenenboom) has come to light! This image was emailed to me this morning.

The nearest pic to it that we have so far is this one:

So we have a new pic :grinning:

It occurs to me that one of the reasons for the ERF NGC’s success in the Middle East must have been its high ground-clearance. Those 12.00X20 tyres, coupled with the uncluttered chassis area would definitely have kept its skirts out of the gutter.

That 5WW-cabbed unit was one of Jamesons own, if the pic below is anything to go by - (unless of course a subbie had his painted in their livery).

L6684p

the model shown in the picture is KFH 248P, it was driven by my brother, John.It is a PKC kit, which I purchased, and asked Dean Prudence to build it for me,there were a few additions to the model which were not standard,such as the green wind deflectors, that my brother fitted himself. I took this truck to the middle east, it was like driving a rocket compared to what I had been driving. Dean got first in class at the show for this model.

Thank you very much for answering the question I asked back in June! I’m glad the model received due recognition. It sounds as if it’s gone to a good home!

Good image Buzzer :+1:. It’s No.03 on the register. Dutch reg 87-69-RB. At the time of that picture it was operated by Willemstein of Barendrecht in the livery of Goedkoop & de Geus.
