I must profess to being a little perplexed, not to say vexed, that no one else on this forum has taken the plunge and invested in a Commer. At risk of repeating myself, it truly is the ideal LM support vehicle. Buy one registered before 1974 and there is no road fund tax to pay. Insurance is £100pa including European breakdown assistance. There's room to take fridges, cookers, showers, BBQs and all sorts of other stuff you wish you could have on hand were it not for the fact that you don't have room in your poxy hatchbacks. And I sleep in a proper bed instead of grovelling around on the floor like pigs in filth, like the rest of you f**k*ng tent-dwelling peasants. There are several for sale on ebay, and I concur fully with the bloke who is selling these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=14256&item=4543531479&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVWAs he quite rightly states at the bottom of his advert - "It is my conclusion that a Commer is an ideal friend and companion. Affordable and CLASSIC that is truly practical.Couldn't put it better myself. When-oh-when will somebody else see the God-dancing light??  |

Steve, thanks, this one is a late model PA (mine is a PB). You can tell the difference because it only has single secondary lights (ie no side lights!) and a sqare shaped grill instead of the famous PB lozenge grille. But best of all, it has the drivers grab handle in the cab, which I covet so much. |

Andy, does that serve as a straining bar for those high speed, cloth touching moments? |

Precisely Steve! Apart from being aestetically pleasing, it would be very functional too.

Hi Andy,
I am tempted but surely a Camper Van without the camping interior is JUST a VAN. Nice Handle door sill reveals a little rust?

Smokie, I like your use of the word "might", it's so loaded with expectation. Unfortunately the Daleks are seen here exterminating a Morris Type J2. I don't think even someone as powerful as the evil Davros could destroy a Commer. |

Hi Andy, as one who critisized your earlier avatar let me just say. I like your current piccy of the bread van  I was tempted to bid on the blue one but he said no overseas bids would be considered. Canada Phil |
