Ahead of the game back in 1990's! I drove my first EC10 in 1993, at 23 years old. I struggled at first with the 'twin split' and the prepared gear for hill driving , my gosh what a magic super machine! ❤️💖 You hold a special place in my heart. As a young woman back then, l have never forgot the lessons l learned from the EC10. Ended up driving in NZ, crash gear box! 😆😁👍

It's a tragedy that us brits cant make quality trucks and for that matter other vehicles like we did in the past we were the workshop of the world.

Fully agree with you.

We did do quality, the tragedy was we couldn’t compete on price and reliability.

Margaret thatcher and the de industrialisation of the UK from the 70s onwards was a huge contributing factor...we became a service country instead of a manufacturing country....and we're still suffering from that that policy ....in the meantime heavy industry in Europe was largely funded from central government the complete opposite to the UK

Wow, the plastic pig! Seriously if erf were any good they'd still be here. Like seriously given a choice back then which driver in their right mind would chose it over Scania or Volvo???
