I’ve been meaning to create this thread for some time now, and as European ERF ECs have cropped up several times in very recent threads, and now that I’ve retired, I’ll do it today!
The standard ‘Olympic’ cabbed EC was sold abroad in some quantities, to Holland, France, Luxembourg, Portugal and Spain. As far as I can ascertain, most of them went to Spain and they all had LHD and either a ■■■■■■■ 525 or a similar-sized Detroit (mostly Detroit, I think) engines; and a choice of two synchomesh 'boxes: the S-type Eaton or the ZF Ecosplit. Unfortunately, this coincided with a sharp rise in fuel costs and I think the big (thirstier) engines put off the buyers. The Detroit probably put a few off too.
Unfortunately, for those like me who prefer Eaton/Fuller constant-mesh, these 'boxes were just on their way out in Europe because of the EU noise-emissions rules (talk about throw out the baby with the bathwater!). Nonetheless, they are an interesting topic to look into. Robert
