From the web - Pictured here on a chilly Autumnal campsite in beautiful mid Wales, it's a 1988 Bedford Rascal parcel van transformed into a three berth (there's a hammock in the elevating roof) motor caravan by Danbury Conversions. It would be hopeless for pan-continental touring, obviously, but it's absolutely perfect for exploring the British Isles at a leisurely pace by the back roads. Strap a couple of bikes to the back, fill the water tank and make sure the gas canister is on board. Couldn't resist this one. Here is a real contender for a modern Commer replacement - and its British. And it has three berths (for what??!!). If it was laden with 3 people, a couple of bikes etc, I imagine that the good old Commer would just blow it into the weeds.......... Ok for the modern aspect but it doesn't have the glamorous aspect of the Commer use... ... it might be not so easy to be be proud of driving it better than a Commer... ... and really more difficult to include on the ACO poster  !!! |

When I used to run a courier company down in Notting Hill, we used to have a Suzuki Supercarry which was I believe the same thing. What a corking little van it was ... NOT!! It was a reserve van and everyone dreaded the day their car or van needed a service!! |

Andy, with due apologies, but this is just too good to stifle - the thread moved long ago to having the largest number of posts, and most of them are on topic! The Commer should not be unduly upset, as the emphasis has moved subtly to taking the p*ss out of other makes with the sole purpose of making it look better. Following from my last post, for those who are feeling as though their life is not complete, the opportunity for that Christmas present to yoursefl is here! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2447452382&category=9858As I type, 10 bidders have taken it to £1020 and it hasn't even met its reserve yet. It even has an HPI check, although who would want to nick it is beyond me. Looking at the pictures, there must be a Tardis-like parallel dimension inside, or it's just made for very small people....... |

Sorry Andy, feeling like b**ls of steel this morning. Don't know if this will go to the next page or not, but my bones are telling me that the Commer is making strange noises right now  |
