MAN announces it will kill off ERF

hoorah the only blooming ERF i ever drove coused me a headache on the A10 A406 roundabout when i couldnt find 5th gear. I never saw the point of having Man & Erf as the later day motors were the same basic motors.

Andyroo:
So there are no British lorries left then now, even in name only …or?

Do either Dennis or Seddon Atkinson badges still go on the front of any new dustcarts?

Like Foden, Seddon Atkinson was killed off by its parent the year before a significant anniversary: Foden in its 149th year, and SA a year before the 100th anniversary of Atkinson & Co.

Just Dennis left then!

I’ve just started Pat Kennetts volume on Dennis, the early history is very interesting. From what I’ve read so far at least they are a worthy survivor.

Quinny:
I wonder what Edward R Foden would say now if he saw it.

Ken.

he’d probably say " if all you [zb’s] who are missing ERF had actually bought one we wouldn’t be having this conversation today"
