Hi All While this is strictly not van related, there is a chance one of these engines might end up in one. I got my first TS3 knocker running. 3 more to go ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pz-Rc-5wCg4 The great Australian Outback

Hi, I have finally got something i have been chasing for ages. How could you not love that face !!! Needs a little work no doubt, but as i already have a total of 3 knocker engines, not including the one in the truck, i should be able to get at least one running. The joke is of course...

Hi All, I am in Sydney now, just got delivery of my 2nd commer bus. Its an early one with the single front blinkers. Its quite rust free for an original, last used in the 80's. I spoke to the lady who used to drive it to pick up school kids. The only thing missing is the seats, i must...

Well, i have to move the 4 off the front into the side to create "commer-valley". There is actually 4 in a row here. Just so i can free up the front for 11.1, the commer-vertible !! There is even petrol in the carby, but apparently it has not run for 15 year, so someone is telling fibs...

Hi, As i have the most number of non-running commers, i am having some covers made for them. Just wondering if anyone else would be interested in some ? I am making 10 of them, i need 11 ha... Its supposed to be the highest quality materials being used. My wife is holidaying in China and...

I went to the farm to start picking up commer bits... Can anyone tell me what are the unique bits for commers that are not the same as hillman bits which can be soruced easily. So far i think.. - Gearbox and linkages - Steering colums and boxes - lights n gauges. - The engine mounting bracket...

Hi All, At last i have a running and almost usable commer. Its took 8 tries, but num 9 is a runner. Just got it off ebay. But had to drive 700+kms there and 700+ back to get it... The drive was very hilly, (Melb to Adelaid) and the old 280E with my 2.6:1 diff did not enjoy it at all. It...

I am now have 8 of these lovely Vans. Perhaps i should have collected the corgi versions, take up less space. No 5 has a nice body, but you would not beleive what has been done to the chassis. The front rails where the crossmember bolts on has been cut out from No 7 and welded UNDERNEARTH the...

Hi I picked up this odd looking commer. Its complete less engine and trans. It does not have the radiator hole in the front like all the others. Great if any other members can comment on it. PS: I had to evict the goats that were residing in it. Had chicken wire over the empty engine...

Hi, Though i should start a new thread. I have a TS3 215cu 135Hp engine. Has anyone put a TS3 in a Commer Van ? I have the engine, but no drive line. Any info on driveline compatibility would be welcome. (i need everything,including the flywheel) Van No 3 has no motor or box, but a...

Hi, No 4 has arrived. I bought it for $300, and had to wait for months to get transport to bring it home on a truck. It has been started for a few years, but used to run. Its an Auto camper in Melbourne, Australia. Am hoping to play with it in december, am just to busy now. I have 4 of...

Hi, Love this forum. I have recently found three commers, after searching for a while. The Van you see is a 64 Series II. Its very rusty but it does start and move up and down the road. The Commer bus (LBXXX) is also a Series II, The body is in great condition, almost 98% rust free. The...
