Manufacturer description

The ERF LV (Long Vue) Flatbed was unveiled in 1962 at the Earls Court Commercial Motor Show in London, when its distinctive features included a one-piece windscreen and - for its day - luxurious internal fittings! Here we see it in the attractive dark blue and cream colour scheme of Northern Ireland Trailers Ltd registered GRN 787D from 1966, with cream wheel inserts and tan trailer floor. The cab doors are printed with descriptive graphics indicating the company's route from Larne in Northern Ireland over to the mainland, with the addition of the strapline 'The Safe Way Across'.
