It's a Bluebird Wayfarer, never seen one of these before :p Just had a chat with the guy, he's wanting around £6k, well worth it :)

What an little beauty. Interesting layout, looks like the later Highwayman layout. :p

That gas lamp looks very close to the roof!

I last saw this van back in August 1995. It was then owned by a chap called Jake Wallington who was trying to sell it for £3.5k which was unheard of then for a Commer but it was in mint condition, certainly better than it looks now, I have some photos of it somewhere that I took at the 1995 CCC National Rally and a classic car show at Knebworth House. It was sold that year and then disappeared of the radar as so many vans do....until tonight!
Good to see it still exsists. Someone will buy a cracking, early, rare camper there [8D]

Bloody Commer`s!
 
its like anything else thats for sale though, its only worth what someones willing to pay for it. my panel van had thousands spent on it, and still im struggling to sell it, people keep calling up and offering pathetic prices like £2000 for it. it cost me three times that and more to produce.:(the lowest im gonna take for it is £4500.00 and im not really happy with that.

A commer with even bigger boost will be appering on a screen near you soon!
 
I think its a Bluebird Moto-Plus rather than a Wayfarer, they could well be one and the same though :)quote:

I only have a Wayfarer catalogue, but looks identical.

Bluebird released the 'Moto-Plus' on both the BMC J4 and Commer, but later renamed the Commer version the Wayfarer;)

I started with nothing.....and I still have most of it!
 
That explains that nicely then :)
I have the 1961/62 Motor Show brochures where its listed as the Moto-Plus.
Well done Martin for putting us right ;)quote:
