Fancy mirrors !

These mirrors were Zanneties, Two part type, The inside one was for the outside view and visaversa for the inside, I liked them we had some on some our wagons, We used to tie a duster to them and it kept them clean when travelling, Regards Larry.

Very posh Larry! I had 6/7 ERFs all with the long oblong mirror , don’t recall having to rag em up though. Not the best but massive improvement on the 5 X 3 s cheers Coomsey

Brilliant mirrors, still got mine in the shed. Bought 'em myself and transferred them wherever I went. Do you think I like mirrors?

BTW, as a heavy from Leicester, this pic qualifies for 2 threads. :laughing:

No dusters, banned by Tom Llewellyn on pain of death. :open_mouth: Surprised he let me keep those 3 big letters on the grill. :astonished:


Someone’s baby!!

Cossington commercials Gainsboro brings back memories used to have an ERF 54G kitted out as a mobile stores used to call once a week chap called Ken drove it knew most of the part numbers off by heart. Sometimes if you were struggling he would jump down the pit and give you a hand,can’t imagine that now.
