    Great video. I still think even today that the S21 is still the most beautiful cab ever made. It follows the shape of the foden badge perfectly.

      Once the foreign vehicles arrived (Scania / Volvo / ETC) no driver if they were honest would ever get behind the wheel of those plastic pigs again given a choice.

    Several years ago I was talking to an old truck driver who used to drive Foden eight wheeler 'Mickey Mouse' cabbed trucks for Hoveringham out of their Asham quarry site near Frome, Somerset. Although they looked impressive he said they were dead uncomfortable due to the drivers' seat being fixed to the back, rather than the floor of the cab.

    The last Foden’s weren’t rebadged DAF’s as claimed. They went down the DAF line but they had different engines, trans and chassis to the DAF’s. It was calculated that for one Foden two DAF’s could be built and in the mid 2000’s demand for DAF’s outstripped supply and the writing was on the wall for Foden.

    ERF built diesel wagons before foden . Foden was forced to move from steam to diesel after ERF had set up its company in April of 1933 . Ernie Sherratt was ERFs leading truck designer until the late 60s .
