You can see why hauliers abandoned the British truck makers when Volvo and Scania came along.

Those Volvos are light years ahead of a similar age ERF or Foden

Dad always said ERF were years behind Volvo

It's more obvious when you look in an ERF A series and then a Volvo F88, or even 86.

There's no comparison.

Yes, maybe so of the older generation, such as the A series and F88s. But being a tad younger , if you showed me an F10/12 and a E series ERF with a 14l Cunmins in it, then id choose the E14 every time , it's British , no rotten cab panels (30 yr old trucks now) and that Cummins

Not saying I can't appreciate the Volvo, or Scania of that era for that matter, just got a soft spot for the Brit with the big block Cummins , fond memories of a childhood spent riding shotgun in an E14 I suppose

Saw a slogan on the back of a nice looking scania " money can't buy you happiness it it can buy you a V8"
Made me chuckle

If you changed the badges on the front of that F12, you'd be hard pressed to tell it wasn't an ERF EC. The boys at Sandbatch must have had an F12 poster on the wall in the design office while they were working on dreaming the EC up.

Did anyone read the article in classic truck about the trucks laid up in some undisclosed farmers yard rotting away. Including amongst others a super rare 8x4 DAF/Ginaf heavy haulage unit ex west of Scotland, scania 112 and a Volvo F16 globetrotter with tag axle. Anyone know were it is? The F16 would be a dream

had that waggon follow me the other day. Was not a name I recognised and wife was wondering why I wasn't driving to fast and waiting at a roundabout just to get a better look. I have never driven a lorry, but there is just something about the cattle/sheep waggons. My wife thinks there's something wrong with me.

Your not alone, ALL wives think there's something wrong with their husband, it can be for many different reasons

You would know as soon as you loaded her up.

That's right, Cummins power is far superior.........
