    left-hand van?

    Hello! After selling JOG about 10 years ago :( I am a bit dreamy about getting a Commer again. Biggest challenge is that I live in Spain now, far from Commer land. Finding a van here is virtually impossible. Do left-hand vans come up now and then in the UK? I don't recall ever seeing one :S...

[V] The company I work for is moving from Berkshire to right in the middle of London so there is no chance I can keep him with me. [V] I thought about making him a permanent live-in vehicle, but then I remembered...

    non working horn

    Hi This is probably one of the easiest problems to solve in the commer electrics world, but I don't really know where to start. From reading other threads, I gather that it is a purple wire I need to tackle. But how is the horn wired up? I looked under the front of the van, and the horn seems to...

    commer roof design

    Hi there! Yesterday while checking for potential leaks and rust areas, I started thinking about the shape of the edges of the roof of my Wanderer. What's the thinking behind that shape? That 1cm wide groove that goes around the roof... The rain is chanelled to the lowest point of that groove...

    Anyone has an Autosleeper in need of a new home??

    Hi there! I am looking for an Autosleeper, preferably pre 1972 but would consider most years (1725cc is more important than the year for me). The van needs to have an MOT or in need of very little work to get one. I have been following the forum and checking for vans for sale for over a year...

    Practical vehicle?

    Hi enthusiasts! I have never owned a campervan, but my girlfriend had a Commer that we used a couple of times in southern UK before it was sold. I don't have many savings, but I really like these old machines. Also a fan of the VWs, but I just love the shape of the Commer, the interiors of the...
