Looking at the two in the last pic, what is the purpose of the flat trailers and tipping gear?
Looks like one company's main intention was the continued survial of the Roots Commer. Can't have bought enough.

I think it's an ERF. In a previous thread I think Patrick identified something similar as an NGC model.That said, as I proved a couple of posts back that I couldn't see a train of shipping containers, anything is possible...
If a LandRover doesn't leak oil, it's run out.

I like the idea of using a lowloader as the front bogie, not seen that done before.
I'd be interested to know why a french haulier would use ERF when they have home grown heavies as in Berliet, Saviem and Renault.

I believe that ERF designed that truck with the European market in mind; I kind of thought it reminded me of that style of Scania of that time.

Of the era I guess and a bit Crusader or some to the rear of the cab. Motor Panels perhaps?
