Road test bags

If visitors to Kelvin Hall feel they have run into the Scottish football team en route for the Argentine, they have been deluded. It is more likely that they bumped into pressmen with what appeared to be sports bags in brilliant red, white and blue colours. The often overweight and constantly overworked owners of the bags were pressmen carrying ERF cab bags, which they had on "road test-. i am told by Brian Tankard, of ERF, that they are available from most ERF distributors at around £3, and my more fortunate press colleagues tell me that after one month's road test throughout Europe they are standing up very well. That seems to me like good value for money.
The same might also be said of two second-hand ERFs sold recently by Central Motor Auctions of Rothwelf. The vehicles, which were part of a lot sold on the instructions of Caulkins Transport and the Wild Group, went for £6,000.
A 1971 ERF 64GXB was sold for £2,500 and a 1973 A Series made £2,750.
This raises the age-old questions of who bought them and why? If the new owners are 0-licence holders, they will now be able to compete against established operators with reliable equipment, which cost them relatively little in capital outlay.
