Nice backdrop in Cassablanca.

Ah! That’s the Hassan 2 Mosque. One day ‘Dashboard’ and I spent a sunny afternoon wondering round its precincts, while the sea crashed against its walls - that would have been about 1998. Robert

I’ve heard drivers who knew drivers who went to North Africa for Eric Vick (like it says on the radiator grille) but I have never, ever seen a picture of one over there. Well, good ol’ Truckerash has found this image taken in 1975 by a Roger Squires on holiday in Tangiers, Morocco! It shows an EV B-series ERF in the port. Robert

Hi Robert.

I think the car at the bottom left of that picture is a renault 25. If true that dates this picture back to 1984 at the earliest, when the R25 took over from the Renault 20/30 series.

Cheers

Nice pics Ade don’t stop it’s good to have the memories I’m sure I’m not the only one that likes seeing them,what you say Steve, Robert.This is Toetapper not Bob.

Cliff’s right: keep 'em coming, mate! Robert :smiley:
