The C series was where ERF started to move into the modern era. With its high roof and plenty of glass, the cab was spacious and airy, although the fixed top bunk left very little room to turn over in the night. This particular cab had an under bunk sink and cool box (cooled by airflow rather than refrigeration). Powered by the 290hp Cummins, it was fast for its time, easily eating up the motorway miles. Comfortable to drive and live in all week, reliable, and light due to its fibreglass cab, it was popular with many fleets. It was not without its faults – being a bit draughty around the doors was one of them – and one can’t help thinking that if ERF had concentrated on resolving those niggles Britain might have had a product that would have rivalled the Scandinavians.
