Having slipped down the order to page 5, and somewhat out of fashion,  I'm pleased to report that Classic Car Magazine are coming on friday to take the Commer away for a week's road test.

I tell you, these vehicles will be all the rage after publication and prices are bound to soar. You heard it here first, so get yours early and grab a bargain:

I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.

The Commer may slip down the order occasionally, but it will always bounce back!

Presumably the magazine were taken with the period shots of the Commer outside the Officers Mess.......

I do think it is a little unkind of the owner to call it a "funk-ass camper of doom" in the subtitle on the description and "cannot vouch for its reliability"- obviously doesn't know his Commers!

The magazine was indeed very impressed with it outside the Mess, I think it was the deal clincher. I am indebted to someone on here for bringing to my attention, about six months ago, the fact that one of there journos had a hankering to drive one. This sparked some correspondence, which has culminated in the road test. He's taking it to Gloucester. What's the betting the funk ass camper of doom misbehaves?

Bouncy like a boat!


I like it. Have fun with the Commer's fame session, not even slightly undeserved I feel.

The Commer is a ... well it is a privelege to know of it, a true icon.  :)

Bill, I too was delighted with the result.  :D

But I'm very sorry to hear about the pandemic of deadly Bird Flu around your neck of the woods at the moment, which seems to be affecting half the population in Birmingham at the moment.  :(

I think there is because it said in the newspaper that there were loads of Bluenoses who were as sick as a parrot.  :D ;)

Coming back to the subject here is a good base for any of your LM projects, even if I find it too much expensive...

Never argue with an idiot, they'll only drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
