How many British trucks still operating in the UK ??

[hot metal]

Saw an ERF hauling in north London yesterday, ( not belonging to a fairground or circus) .So it got me wondering who`s still operating these fine but now aging rigs.

The only other I saw in the last year was another ERF tooling along north on the M6 near Wigan, making a great sound though. Think it was a 98 or 99 model year

Why do these operators run these old trucks ? In an industry where efficency is king they must be anything but. Just must be a fondness for the old Brit rigs, can`t see any other reason other than as marketing tools

Saw another ERF tractor on the m6 just last week, looked great.
