The land-locked Commer picture posted by Panky is a Commer Creighton, possibly the only one left? Built by Creighton Caravans of Nelson, Lancs. They were better known for their trailer caravans, trailer tents and cabin cruisers in the 60s and 70s. They also built an amphibious caravan:) I...

Has me stumped as well Martin M[?]I'm not convinced that it is a recognised 'factory' conversion at all; it has the appearance of a very good home-build.Which would tie in with the query about the DODGE letters on a Commer. I think that the Dodge letters were first used on the Commer front panel...

Cheers for the plug, I do try to give Commers a mention when possible.I have also pointed an author in the direction of Martin M., so he might feature a couple of Commer campers in his forthcoming book;) I started with nothing.....and I still have most of it!

Got one somewhere but no idea of exact whereabots, you should see my archives! They were CI autohome/motorhomes with blue cabs and the Blue Peter shield on the cab doors, think from memory they were sent off to Africa? I'll try to seek out picture, but no promises. I started with...

That was no fluke;) I started with nothing.....and I still have most of it!

It's OK Jostein, no offence taken:); I never did claim to know everything there was to know about classic campers, they is just what others assume! Book sounds great though I started with nothing.....and I still have most of it!

Car-Campers used a modified version of their Sherwood rising roof during the 1970s, does have the 'Trailblazer' look about it which might fool a few people. I started with nothing.....and I still have most of it!

It's a Car-Camper conversion, honest:) I started with nothing.....and I still have most of it!

I'm here;), still watching! Sorry, never seen a 'turtle-top' Commer camper before, that's a new one on me as well. More likely a commercial high top van converted to camper[?] I started with nothing.....and I still have most of it!

Alan, Could not agree more! He probably thinks he has improved it, when in fact he has taken about 2k+ off its true 'classic' value. It's happening more and more in the classic camper world with some real beauties being ruined, sadly you or I ain't going to stop it[:(!] I started with...

Try this site; www.newlandercamper.co.uk I started with nothing.....and I still have most of it!

Don't think that this link has ever been mentioned on here before, and is certainly well worth looking at. Will be of special interest to any Commer Maidstone (Commer-Commer) owners. It features the Maidstone on view at the 1961 New York Motor Show, and for the American market it was called the...

swampster & carcamper are there among all those darkside vans:D I started with nothing.....and I still have most of it!

It's an Austin 152 Omnicoach, minibus to you and me. The Morris version (same van, different grille) was the J2. Driver of that very Austin being loaded for Hamburg was Neil Aspinall (later Apple Corps manager), drove it around to all their gigs until 1964;) Any more Beatles anoraks on here?:D...

It's a Car-Camper, later version without the louvre side windows and it has the MKII Sherwood rsing roof.The fridge was an optional extra which reduced the size of the chest of drawers. Saw this one at rallies a few years ago in the hands of previous owner, it was very nice back then, and lower...

It is/was a Commer Creighton (Lancashire converter). Only a handful ever built. I started with nothing.....and I still have most of it!

LHD Commer Maidstone;)It was released in North America in 1961, also appeared at New York Motor Show that year. I started with nothing.....and I still have most of it!

Love it Kes, but think he went 'over the top' with that front sun-visor!:D I started with nothing.....and I still have most of it!

Two companies still exist down in Dorset who have ex-CI Autohomes staff on board. Both still stock some bits and pieces for the old CI campers, worth trying for clips ect, they are; Autovan Services, Tel. 01202 848414 and Charles & Son, Tel. 01202 380007(Ex-CI stores building on old CI site)...

Yes, you have the C21 which was described as having a 'Bench/bed in cab'. I started with nothing.....and I still have most of it!
