Incidentally, I thought Studiocommer might want to upload this onto the archive. It's a story from the sixties about eleven guys going surfingto Portugal in a Commer. I realise there won't be much surfing going on til the titanium's set firm but I found it while surfing (the internet) and IMO it's Commer Gold.
Thanks Andy, great find- where is the Isle of Thanet? obviously big enough to have its own gazette archive due for fresh batch over weekend and look forward to adding this one
this is topic under links section with a Portugal/Commer connection...could be same trip?

cheers bud .. when the glue is set i shall either climb aboard or in one of my toys all pop up that way 4 a coffee ... for a while at least my commer ownership days are over (dont crucify me) house is falling apart round me and need to get my workshop up and running as a form of income ... i did replace the commer with something else though ... not often you find a motor that is just your cup of tea and its got all your initials as its registration ;; odd owning something that someone else has built ..but its done to such a good standard .avin said that i will make it mine (paint job etc)..
great to hear from you Dozer- hope all healing as it should. Good luck with workshop stuff - am intrigued to know what the new wheels with your initials would be
oo-er it looks even more tasty complete - guessing that is the bodyshell seen in previous pics (looks like last ones I'll post for you - notice you posted this one - will miss having sneak previews)
just practising .. im gob smacked it came out .. ,,, its a 1933 plymouth 5 window coupe .. just as nice on the inside ,, a lass this time not my work .. will send all to you first
absolutely beautiful car - can see why it's got your initials on it, and if pushed have to admit if you had to replace the commer - that is a reasonable choice
Hi Just to answer the question on where is the Isle of Thanet,its on the north east tip of Kent, Margate and Ramsgate etc. I had a nice cup of tea sitting in RAN the VAN when we first got her in Margate watching a nice sunset. Cheers Nick.
