Now then, in terms of the thread title, I know this one doesn't quite fit into the "modern" category, but as a potential replacement, it really looks the business for the vintage/classic world. Sleek, streamlined, with the observation lounge at the back to sit and wave to the Commers Cobras peasants as you roar past them on the N138. Only trouble is I have no idea whatsoever as to what it actually is - anyone got any ideas?

Ooh that is frickin' marvellous! Now that is what I call a Le Mans chariot! Looks a tad like it might be of French persuasion. |

Aye, there pure class, them whitewalls and moon discs. I'm thinking of putting a set on me 'vette. The vehicle itself resembles a 4 wheeled suppository |

Funnily enough, I was just about to post on this thread!  With spring on the way, every red blooded gentleman's mind turns to... Commers!  I'll be digging the old girl of her winter slumbers out over next couple weeks and I'll find out whether she does indeed need replacing.  |

I'll be digging the old girl of her winter slumbers out over next couple weeks and I'll find out whether she does indeed need replacing. Interesting coincidence! I opened up the garage door yesterday to see if the big black beasty was still there and would actually start. I've had a trickle charger on the battery all winter, the engine cranked over fine and gave a decent oil pressure. So, a couple of squirts on the juice and varoooooom After clearing the remnants of the winter fire wood from the front of the garage door, the old girl saw the day light for the first time in 4 months and off we roared up the road. I'm pleased so say the acceleration and handling (?) still scares the sh*t out of me |

Love to come down and cheer you on old chap Jest not. You be cheering me on one minute, then without knowing it, you'll find yourself lying in the mud on your back under a Commer, scraping rust and crap off the underside. Before you know it, you'll have just finished rebuilding the brakes and it'll be gone midnight.  |
