Mr Andy Z - or can we call U "DAD"

As you all grown up now and have a family to look after and protect, may I suggest you move up from a Commer to a Karrier - and with plenty of space for the toys and its big enough to take your lads toys as well

It's actually a LWB Commer BF badged as a Karrier... And £5k seems far too much money for it. Do you know who Maggy Ferguson was, and how the poor woman came to be making engines?

Still if you think 5 grand is a lot for a Commer, try £1.8 million... That's what the Ecurrie one just sold for

Holy shinola! Those prices are right up there, I'd bet my best pair of socks that the seller might stretch to a Top Deck Shandy or two just to celebrate.
Wonder if the buyer wants a Mark 2 to complete the set?
Classics seem to be selling well these days, although I hardly ever see any of the buggers on the road. Maybe they're being used for dogging and I should get out a bit more.

Isn't that the back of a moggy 1000? Going to Sunday school when I was about eight I had my fingers trapped in the door of one of those, did not say anything because I was too shy and possibly too scared, did not loose any fingernails so it cannot have been too bad...

Still a bit like that I suppose... shy I mean.

This looks like an easy fixer-upper.  Click through image to eBay listing.

£510 and it still didn't meet the reserve.......I did particularly enjoy the description, updates and answers to questions:

1)  I am not trying to put any pressure on anyone, but if the reserve isn't met, i will relist it once I have received it early next week but the reserve may go higher as i would have been able to assess the car myself!

2)  The car will be delivered to me early next week and NOT this weekend!!! I would understand if you want to retract your bid!!!

3)   THE CHASSIS DOES NOT NEED REPLACING BUT THE FRONT AXLE WILL!!!  THAT WHY THE FRONT END LOOKS LOW ON THE PICTURES

I really fail to see why it didn't meet the reserve.......

Front end looks low... almost certainly because knife edges or spring tension rods have rusted through. Seller is a numpty.

.......That passenger side window wiper looks fairly solid  :P
The close ups are so funny, its that "air-conditioned" there's not a panel you couldn't put your fist through

The back axle worth £200, and the rest is scrap, or just plain missing
