Cab comfort

Manufacturers have clearly worked hard on developing cabs that age well —today a well maintained used truck can look as good as anything off the production line.This one had seen some action the lighter areas of the interior showed signs of discolouring—hut it was fair wear and tear rather than abuse.
The dash layout hasn't really changed, with most of the controls for functions such as seat heaters, axle lift, traction control, roof hatch and assorted lights to the left of the steering wheel.The blue-grey colour of the plastic parts of the interior is matched by the soft furnishings, cloth door panels and armrests; the single bunk is surrounded by light grey walls.
Storage space is decent, and above the windscreen is a double-deck unit featuring open-fronted shelves beneath large lidded lockers across two thirds of the cab and an elastic net for those who still use maps.
Judging by the nature and operation of its first owner,Wincanton, this ERF probably had more drivers hopping in and out than spending a full week out on the road. However, there was no indication that it had been driven by a succession of chain-smokers and this cab still offers a comfortable driving environment. •
