How strange ... last time the Duke was on eBay someone commented ... " Been 'stuck' at £5,100 for ages......well, four days really... " Exactly the same this time a few years later.

I don't use Photobucket or any online image hosting (bar my own domain host) but just recently whilst looking for vans and following links to pics and albums etc. I have noticed that Photobucket is an absolute car crash of a site ... its like its been hacked for spam adverts that you can't get...

Thanks for the info Panky. Which do you mean by " the grey one " ? The Moto does look very nice and I like that it's got the 6 speed sorted and no doubt other bits... I'd be well up for it but the interior layout doesn't work for me so would need too much work on that tip I think. I'd have to...

He looks cool. Potential there with some tlc :) Bit of a tart though ... certainly has some history on the forum...

Old boy mate of mine and his dog Gonzo (jack russel) ... used to pretty much live in a creamy beige Commer kicking around Cornwall and a few festies in the 90's / early 00's. He pitched up regularly as security for the kids field at Glastonbury back in the day too (probably now replaced an...

Looking for a camper...

It would... but don't really want to tow a trailer and don't want to freak out occasionally thinking I've ploughed into some cyclists :) 2" hitch and swing out from the states sounds tidy.

Anyone know what happened to Wilma ? I found this thread started by Ray considering selling his lovely van, Wilma ... https://forum.commervanfan.co.uk/threads/wilma-for-sale.8127/ But it kind of ends in mystery with Ray disappearing and would be buyers left wondering. Wilma would be round the...

Might have the odd alarming moment of thinking you've run some cyclists over... obviously.

What's involved in the 6 speed conversion ...and any clue what's the rough cost ? (* edit... found the thread and contacted Tim)

Lucky Jon What's the skinny on side doors ? ... Rare as a rare thing ?

Love it.

No idea about hinge strength as don't have a van yet. Don't fancy trucking 3 bikes around inside as that's a nailed on recipie for trashing the interior woodwork etc... sharp bits like pedals not to mention mud... no good for the odd stealth overnighter en route here & there either. Be ideal...

Well that looks ideal but suspiciously simples. Is it a known straight fit ? Has anyone done it / got a pic ? ... Is it the T5 rather than the T4 version ?

That does look like a possibility. Bit of a permanent looking extreme piece of kit though... spoil that cute vintage backside. Ideal if touring europe for a year or two, which isn't on the Commer agenda to be fair.

So I'm considering a Commer as a family camper for 2 alleged grown ups plus a 5 year old.... we will need to be able to take our bikes along and would only want the nipper's bike inside at the most so will need to fit some kind of bike rack for at least 2 mountain bikes. I did a quick search...

Thanks for all the replies by the way ... very helpful.

Wouldn't want to start a forum debate ... but don't tell me, the gearbox mod spoils the old skool 'character' of the van :) Not averse to sensible mods personally, especially when it comes to usability, practicality and safety. The grey '61 looks a bit like it should be at the lights ready for...
