Hi all,chris,i think the odd looking erf you mention is k965 KMB,when CT first had it,it was a prototype for the EC series and did not have any ERF badges,i remember it going back to rjchard reads to have the EC series bumper and grille fitted if i remember right.

Thats him, he worked at Walls after WT Smith, then Sims. Hes full time at CO OP now though. I beleive he drove for Cardiff international and John Evans before all that. Iāll let him now hes been imortalized on here,. Sadly I canāt see him joining up himself though.
I remember him having a black, 113 360 for WT Smith, 6x2 rear lift with air kit and stainless steel front bumper, and of course his Bedford Rascal van which āthey never brought out as a tractor unitā
Neil.
Neil, great line that made me smile. I saw Dave one day and he was telling me his troubles. The now world famous Rascal van would not fire up and start despite every effort known to mankind and was now stubbornly stuck in Daveās garage. āIāve even put down some Wynnās in a saucer on my driveway to try and entice it outā he quipped. You may have to know him to find it funny.
hiya,
Love those Cardiff Transport motors, not over the top with āembellishmentsā and a cracking livery they look the part proper workhorses.
thanks harry long retired.

I think they were, the Escotts had 712 to 715 and they all came from Ronnie Counsell at Englands/Renault Penarth Road.

Rich, that was an eye catching lorry, 1 for the show circuit I thought??. I hope you are retaining the number plate before it sets off and you took a little return on your investment ?.
