What a great pic of two brands I used to admire as a kid.

Great Picture. Is that a Wibbe-Orbitor HP on the ERF, any idea who the body constructor was?

Ed: no on the right is a Simon Snorkel 85 foot. Body likely to be by Jennings aka ERF as latter owned the bodybuilder.

Yes it goes back to the early days of ERF snorkels, before they switched to a crew cab which was actually two sets of front doors, front cowls and front windscreens, with minor revisions to the rear doors, changed to B pillar hinged doors.
