Those later ERF’s seem totally up to date in appearance. A joy to drive esp with an Eaton Twinsplitter, once you got the hang of it!

But sadly, those ECXs didn’t have Twin-Splitters, as the standard gearbox on those was the disappointing Eaton ‘S’-type synchro 'box. If anyone has ever heard of an ECX with a Twin-Splitter I’d be interested to hear about it! Incidentally, Turners imported a Spanish LHD ECX Olympic, changed it to RHD and fitted it with a one-off 13-sp Fuller.

Nmp this one has Tso fitted by the owner and it’s the biggest model in the range the 16 series I think .
A couple of weeks ago I saw for the second time an early chrome grill F88 240 which would be 1973ish with a timber trailer, it was around Moreton-in-the-Marsh area, wish I wasn’t driving and could have taken a picture, it bought back fond memories.

Yep that’s the one, my wife wondered what all the fuss was about when I saw it coming towards us.

good to hear the F88 is still operating! 
not seen it about for quite a while.
i spotted a couple of the JCB ERF’s out on the road last week,but sadly,they will be auctioning them off 
(perhaps Punchy Dan will buy one and keep it operating?)

I’ve driven quite a few of those ECX’s and none had the Eaton T/S fitted
Had an 06 plate ERF bulker come past me this morning whilst out for a walk, green cab but no name anywhere that I could see.
Greece is full of 3 series Scania’s a testament to well built trucks
