Yep, thats the one! I'd heard this had gone for preservation,I'm so glad it was saved. It was sat in Brownings yard in leighton buzzard for ages, used as a shunter.
you're so right. Its so frustrating given what we used to be capable of. I still maintain ERF's demise was due to financial wrongdoings leading to the takeover by MAN. The trucks themselves were still capable machines.
Nice to see the old lorrys

Shame the British lorry manufacturing industry couldn't have been preserved!I guess Britain will soon become a industrial heritage museum!

That dark blue late 60s early 70s Scammell tractor unit sounds real good.
