Sorry, not for sale now! Have you tried the Dutch Commer Club https://www.commerclub.nl/commers-te-koop/ sometimes get Walk Thrus on there - there was one on there recently that had had some restoration done.

...the persuasive power of commervanfan!!

I've had a rethink (cheers jimberlake!) - decided to keep it!

It's not terminal at all - just feel it's time I pass it on though, otherwise it'll be sat for another 10 years! I'll be putting it on ebay with a 99p start price and a small reserve (just spent £110 on a new battery).

Thanks Paul, but it doesn't look so good now - I've held on to it, when it should have been sold, really, so hoping someone will take it on, or at least use some of it for another Walk Thru.

Selling my old Commer/Dodge Walk Thru. I've had this van for nearly 24 years, but finally facing up to the fact that I haven't got the time to sort it (due to the usual family/money/business/etc) and would rather it goes to someone who can restore it or use bits for another Commer. Comes with...

I think it was just the plates, which were just rivetted to the body work (so easily taken off!). The link I found to the windows was interesting - didn't realise you could use this to get a date with older vehicles...

I reckon it might have had it's plates switched then... I think the forward placed indicators came in with the M reg, or around there (from looking at pictures). Maybe someone made it a 60s van when they froze the free tax on 1972?

Found this http://www.bobine.nl/turner/01-general-information/triplex-glass-manufacturing-date-codes/ which might be useful... If you've got the chassis plate, then you can try Renault Trucks to find out more about when the van was made as well - I did this on mine and found out the day when it...

I'm over in Bristol, so a fair way... Just having a look at your pictures - is it definitely a '62 model? The indicators are set on the front wing, nearer to the headlights - I thought they were only like that on the later (70s) vans? The earlier ones had the indicators set up by the small...

Yes, still got it, tho haven't driven it properly for a very long time, so it's been parked up under some arches. Now with the new MOT regs and kids being a bit older, I'm thinking I can park it on the road and spend some time on it. If you need any spares, give me a shout and I'll see if I've...

Just having a look on here for first time in a while... One simple improvement I did to my Walk Thru was to change the 6.50 tyres to 7.50's - made quite a bit of difference and could hit 70mph quite easily (cruising around 65 usually). Engine is the 4.236 Perkins diesel, so coped with th bigger...

Not exactly streamlined! Would be a decent buy tho, could easily have aome surgery done to remove the lump...

Thanks Martin - it was after reading the article on the TV van that made me think I've got to get something done. Had an email off Ratsport Jules as well, so going to have a chat with them I think, quite often in London on deliveries and not too far from Bristol... (and very impressed with the...

brilliant - Bridgwater isn't too far from me, so will give them a shout - thanks.

Hello All - haven't posted for a while, but do pop in occasionally... I'm thinking it's time to hand my Walk Thru over to a professional to do a proper job and get her properly restored. Can anyone recommend a business that's close to Bristol? Looking for a body off job really - due to go in...

nice pics - have you got any of the Walk Thru?

just came on and followed this thread - very sad, had the same thing done to my van a few years ago, but was lucky that someone saw it happen and came out to find the fire brigade firing water in to it from the back door. anyway, just wanted to say that you must do all you can to keep this...

Hello All - haven't been on here for a while... busy with work and new baby. Good to see the site is alive and well! Bought a load of Walk Thru spares a while ago and have started sifting thro them - quite a few aren't for my van, or are in multiples and some stuff I don't even recognise...
