I dare say HGB will be round to view it at the weekend.
Just seen this... the owner claims that this Commer is working. It was build in 1960, first registered in 1969 and ran until 1998 clocking 55.000 kilometers. Seeing the pictures I believe 10.000,- Euros is a bit far from normal. The sentimental value must be 9.999,-. The rest is worth probably 1,- Euro. Unfortunately, Soltau is not around the corner. Otherwise I would visit this chap for a good laugh.

I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.

I bought my first Commer this week-end ! Ok it's just a Corgi milk delivery model, But I don't loose the hope of having one real one another day Gilles, Let me be the first to welcome you to a very exclusive club. Very exclusive indeed. You will suffer envy and verbal abuse from those less priviledged folk who are not fellow Commer owners. But the pride in owning one of the worst designed, badly compromised but long lived and quirky vehicles ever made will be well worth while. Congratulations! You are clearly a man of good taste and a bon viveur.

Andy, following on from our conversation at Goodwood FOS, this is what i learnt to drive in when i we're a lad! It's an early fifties split screen model. Peter, that ages you so badly it's not true!

If you can successfully put a Rover V8 in a Minor, I'm sure a Commers a viable proposition...........
.............to rake up an earlier couple of pages of this thread (about page 10?)

Steve, To go back to that point in the thread, you should also remember the talk of installing jet power in the Commer......instal that, chain it down at Tetre Rouge, wind it up, release it and then watch it fly..... can't resist the photo which is one of those now missing from the earlier posts

This is more like it. I feel a project coming on Steve, If the project ever gets off the ground , then leave those ones behind - you really need reheat for those lovely shock diamonds and crackling roar. One of the pair out of one of these would do very nicely...........
