Think you are spot on Martin-it's certainly a PB, got Commer door catches and Commer steering wheel. Looks like the front panel has been replaced with Dodge. If that is because of a front end shunt, then buyer beware! In answer to the earlier query, the first Dodges came out in 1976 when they...

If you need a roof edging then try the boot seal from ratsport, just had a sample arrive and its a great fit. In fact a big improvement over the original trim!:)

Sent four Commer samples to Woolies recently and they could only match one! Had far more luck with 'C O H Baines', East Kent Trim didn't even reply. It appears to be the cab door seals which are difficult to match up, all the companies come back with a much smaller trim, and that lets in water...

That interior came out of a VW type 2, pretty sure it is Westfalia. Think the units are worth more than the camper!:D

Hi Admin, New website looks great, well done. Enjoyed looking through pics of members campers. I noticed your 1965 model which you describe as an Autosleeper, it isn't! It's a Car-Camper with the 'Sheerwood' rising roof. The roof is a giveaway, plus the side louvre windows, Autosleepers used...

[V]Sorry Fearns, I did mean Keith not Alan. Think it fairly safe to say you have only Commer Calthorpe ..unless anyone else knows differently? Has the Highwayman gone to a good home?:D

Cheers all for the replies. Thanks for advice, really useful. Now fixed up, many thanks:)

Is this the same Calthorpe that Alan used to own? He with the lovely Tourstar!:D

Hi Martin, Is that simply a statement..... or an answer to my original question? Perhaps you just like to collect new systems!:D

The Calthorpe you are thinking about in that article was based on a Ford Thames 400E, not a Commer;)

Hi Fearns, Do you also own a Commer Coaster by Dormobile by any chance?:D

With the large numbers of Commers still in use, the owners can't all be getting custom jobs made up? Have a feeling there is still a 'high street' exhaust centre able to order the system from their records, but who? I do have a local centre offering to custom build a system, but they want the...

It seems like a lifetime ago since that photo-shoot, but I suppose that 14 years ago is a long time in any language! I do still have that blue Commer Car-Camper, which is being put back on the road this year after 5 years of non-use. Great to see that the forum is about to gain more publicity...

Hi all, Anyone out there recently replaced their rusty old exhaust system? If so, where did you get one from? Any leads would be appreciated, chhers:)

:)Ditto that Will and the gang! Great sprouts this year Will!!!!!!! Cheers everyone.

Hadrian also produced a glass fibre-bodied camper, and a small panel van conversion with a raised glass fibre section along the length of the roof. Colin Glazebrook at 'Artco' has a few sales brochures for the Hadrian campers, he sells on ebay! Never seen a pic of Hadrian campers at Motor Show...

First Commer of the production line in 1973 (2nd January) was '25VT 151977', built for the GPO. Second off was number '15VH 158546'. Last one ever built was on the 17th Feb 1982, 25VT 632571. Might interest someone?:D

Hi Will, I have posted a picture of your loverrrrrrly! Commer on the following website; www.brmmbrmm.com/classiccamper Looks great next to that bright yellow Cossie Escort MKI. Carcamper:D

Hi all, I would be amazed if you manage to find a Commer 'Sleep-a-Kar', as most were done on the Austin 152 (J2). I have never even seen a picture of the Commer option, which is surprising given the shed loads of Commer material which I have at my disposal!:p I have just about every sales...

Thanks for the welcome. I own the car-camper commer which is featured in the new book, Classic Camper Vans-the inside story. I'll try and get some pics posted soon. Owned it for 14 years now, and had many other Commer campers!:)
