An alternative would be to purchase this and start from scratch ;D

Are you totally mad. The rot woulda gotten in everywhere and the interior looks like it's riddle with rat's scabies.

The one on eBay is the same conversion as mine and would be a bargain at somwhere between £500 to £1000. Plus it has the more modern dashboard than mine so I'm well tempted. Anyone want to buy the old one?

Incidentally Commer fans, I have worked out another reason why she overheated on the way home. Before leaving MB I had rather foolishly topped up the radiator with French tap water. Clearly I now realise this was a mistake and once it had been replenished with proper English Buxton Spring Water there were no further problems.  ???

BTW has anyone else noticed the water at LM is no use for making tea either? It leaves a scum on the surface.

The curtains look like something out of The Likely Lads, totally foul IYAM.

It seems to be good for sealing leaks, then.

Does that mean one with a water temperature gauge?

Spotted on the camp grounds at Silverstone (Classics weekend) Not a Commer I grant you. Sweet looking with a Paisley interior.
