Just saw this, thought might be of interest - had someone after my copy recently (sorry, can't remember name) - probably not been spotted yet...

I know that van! used to belong to a chap called Joe Davis in Bristol, used to run over to Europe in it several times a year. www.GreenWoodsFurniture.co.uk - Sustainably sourced, handmade in the UK

yes, sounds like they've put a block on your work computer - sites such as 'Photobucket' are often classed as leisure sites, so they prevent access apparently... www.GreenWoodsFurniture.co.uk - Sustainably sourced, handmade in the UK

...apologies for those that have already seen this, but thought you might find this amusing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgbN6jhKXpU it's a video my missus did to get on to her media course and my Walk Thu features heavily (and, no, the van footage isn't speeded up!)...

fantastic vans! looks like the Roller used to be a hearse! www.GreenWoodsFurniture.co.uk - Sustainably sourced, handmade in the UK

quote: Originally posted by lancealot its a shame that some folk get into spares just for business and not for the love of keeping the classics on the road (not you Martin). always the way though ...only thing I would say about that tho, is that if Commer spares are worth something then...

I'd say a spare fan belt is a definite - think someone mentioned water pipes... both of these seem to always go without any warning. I also carry a spare alternator, just in case. www.GreenWoodsFurniture.co.uk - Sustainably sourced, handmade in the UK

lovely looking van - did you do the bodywork yourself? www.GreenWoodsFurniture.co.uk - Sustainably sourced, handmade in the UK

Hate to admit it, but I've spoken to mine a few times... often along the lines of 'We'll get you sorted soon mate!' when I'm feeling guilty about work that needs doing! Also find myself going a bit mad when driving away from a successful MOT, which always makes me feel like I've achieved some...

i've always done mine thro Aon, who now use Footman James - unlimited mileage, TF&F for £88 this year for a Commercial Policy.

...and if it's too big, you could always take the horsebox off and turn into a flatbed or put a smaller box on the back - would bring the weight down aswell.

that looks totally wicked! have you got any plans for the interior?

go on! someone go for it! there's not many of these left - in fact I've never seen one with the concertina doors before, other than in the catalogues... Looks like it's got a Perkins 4.203 engine in there, so a 3.6l engine that'll be very reliable and one you can still get spares for. if...

What a great enterprise - the best of luck. Have you tried approaching some of the Sunday papers for a test run/review - just read yet another 'Holiday in a VW' piece last weekend, I reckon one of these and you'll be well away!

just spotted a tatty looking Walk Thru mid way through a dodgy paint job, dragging the house prices down on Redland Green in Bristol (my how those neighbours loved to wake up and find my van parked outside...)...

Had a delivery tonight (in Cotham, Bristol) and ended up taking a turning up Gibson Road... and there in front of me is a nice looking Commer. Slowing down to take a look, of course, I notice a crab on the dashboard and the number plate seems strangely familiar! Yes, it was that star of the...

Woolfy - love the Jag - what colour is that, by the way?

sorry haven't replied, admin. would be willing to send it over to you, if you like, tho reckon it could be pretty expensive? It's in a lever arch folder, which is slightly too small for it all - without checking i think it's from the mid 60s, doesn't specifically cover my van (or engine)...

Hello Roel - I'm sure I've spoken to you a few years back?! Was it you I bought the steering wheel off? Anyway. I've got a workshop manual, but in a an A4 ring binder, not on disc... as you say, it'd be a hell of a job converting it! Also, I've just bought a pallet full of Walk Thru spares...

Must admit, I quite like it aswell... certainly (very) different!!
