1973 ERF 5AG

This was one of the participants in the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally at Heaton Park, Manchester in September 1993.

It's a 1973 ERF 5AG with Gardner 100 diesel engine and described in the 1996 Rally as an ERF LAG. I understand that the '100' refers to the bhp of the engine, in which case it would seem to be a 6LW 102hp 6-cylinder 8,370cc engine. The programme of the rally said this about the vehicle:

ERF 5AG 1973                                                                                                         RTS457
