New Oxford Commercials tooling brings the modern ERF EC Olympic high
roof cab to the range, hauling for its first outing a 40ft fridge in
Scotlee International Transport colours, one of the most eye-catching
Scottish liveries around.
ERF introduced the EC cab range back in 1993 but it was another year
before the high-roofed Olympic version was introduced with various
levels of trim, allowing operators to choose the desired level of living
space within the cab.
Scotlee Transport was founded in 1977 by father and son, Joseph and
James Leeson. They started with two trucks doing local work around the
west of Scotland but the fleet eventually grew to 25 high spec 44 ton
vehicles doing refrigeration and general cargo work all over Europe.
Our truck is decorated in the bright Scotlee colours of red, white and
pale blue, with an exceptionally high level of detail adorning the
tractor unit in particular. The blue cab features a white roof and
aerofoil, dark blue sun visor and black side mirrors. The roof sides
carry the flags of several European nations above the windows on both
sides. The interior is also black. Decoration includes a tartan riband'
which runs all the way round the sides and front of the cab with the
company name printed in gold. A red and white chevroned bumper includes
the registration plate X916 JCS.
The trailer is equally decorative with the tartan band repeated
diagonally across two opposite corners. The bold company lettering says
it all and includes the fluttering Scottish Saltire on each side and
across the rear doors. The model is rounded off with silver wheels with
contrasting red wheel centres.
