ERF oil engined lorries from Parrs of Leicester
The ERF oil engined lorries.
As supplied by Parrs of Leicester.

Parrs were decidedly upbeat in their advertising for ERF lorries back at the start of WW2. Interesting that the artwork shows a young woman climbing into the cab of this classic truck from E.R. Foden. Prior to the war few women drove lorries but once the war kicked off they were soon to be seen driving lorries both for civilian operators and the armed forces.
This is one of a number of retro 1940s and 1950s motoring advertisements that I've featured here on oldclassiccar.co.uk.
