Oh crikey! You! Welcome Lord Summerisle, as befits such a gentlemanly vehicle as a Commer, it's much more civilised on here than over at Pistonheads!
I am the custodian of a post bus, but they are very, very rare [V] Thae one I am looking after is in a terrible condition [xx(] I do have a minibus, taxed and tested, with a postbus roof to go with it, that I may be willing to sell [:0]

Do I detect some 'history' here:I
'Harvey the RV'
Im afraid me and the lord summerisle from pistonheads are not one and the same, just two completely unnassosciated men with a general interest in vehicles and good taste in films.
My interest in the postbuses comes from just purchasing a set of postcards on ebay, though i fear this may be as close as i get to commer ownership for a while, as the rust is starting to eat away at my mgb gt in places and its going to eat away at my savings too, not sure my mechanical skills (next to non existent, though im hoping to learn gradually) are up to looking after a Commer yet either.

No vans for sale, but thinking of selling the minibus
Taxed and Mot'd, runs very sweet. Tow bar. Looks like its had a new o/s cill and rear corners. Bottoms of doors, n/s screen pillar and front of roof been patched. Front seats split, but rears good. Open to offers
There's something terribly stylish about the way the windows wrap round at the rear. Reminds the trainspotter in me of the Glasgow Blue Trains, your minibus would look great with some cream lining like this:
