Cheers people. Yeh I guess location does play a part. I have had a bit of interest but nothing concrete.
She is in storage now at a mates farm so at least out of the weather until the spring. To be honest if she is still here by then I will no doubt keep her. There is a guy in my town who got his apprenticeship out working on Commers so will be going to him for a full overhaul.
I am picking up another Commer in a few weeks which will be a parts doner, also will be selling bits so keep your eyes peeled for items.
If she does sell then all well and good but no disaster if I am left with her for the summer.
Thanks for all the positive and random comments
Oh and the most random items I have bought on ebay while pissed are too embaressing to mention!:I My missus bans me from the pc if I have been drinking. Its so easy to spend invisible money[B)]

[red]I am pleased to say that I have just bought the Commer Highwayman from Ross way up in Scotland and I am in the process of arranging to drive the 500 miles from he's house down to the South Coast. It should be a bit of an adventure and I hope the van makes it with no mishaps. Well we'll find out soon! I will post some pics and details of the journey once the van is home safe and sound.
Well done
Good luck with journey, make a week of it?

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your purchase. It looks like you have a good'un.
When is your epic journey? You will get plenty of advice from others more knowledgeable than me on essential equipment for the journey, but don't forget to take a camera, we will be wanting plenty of pics.
Journey shouldn't be too difficult as it is downhill all the way!

Oh No! What am I letting myself in for. Everyone seems to think you have to be mad to be a Commer Van Fan! Well that suits me as my wife has told me I'm mad for years. My other classic is a Sunbeam Tiger so it has to be a Rootes Group van for me. Non of that reliable German stuff!!
I live in West Sussex near Worthing and I am only 20 mins from Goodwood. I intend to take the Highwayman to the breakfast club meeting at Goodwood in December.
The highwayman I have just bought is a 72/73 PBCM and I would like to get an original workshop manual & parts books for this model. Any offers!
Thats all for now folks!
