Needs that big bumper to counter balance the rear step:I Very odd combination, like Martin says it looks like a Commer that's been 'updated', I didn't think Dodge doors would fit a Commer. Nice interior though

Is that a Vauxhall steering wheel or just the horn push center added [?]

No it's a Vauxhall steering wheel, another upgrade?:I

Well somethings not right? Or have they changed the rear corners??

Under the 'weather deflector' there looks to be a raised edge around the heater intake, a Dodge is recessed I think.

It's got the old style rear lights so it's deffo 72 like mine. It's pretty cool tbh. I reckon someone owned it in the 80's but couldn't afford a spacevan so they got hold of a dodge grill and ditched the Commer head lights. Nowadays people ditch the dodge grill and fit old style head lights!

Hi. Just wondering what people think of the price?

My dad was a big commer fan (trucks not vans though) and I'd love a commer camper (don't really want a dodge so if this is a commer disguised as a dodge then great!) but I have no idea what I'm looking at or how much things are worth so any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hello Alison and welcome to this absolutely mad house unfortunately I can't help you with the information that you want but I have no doubt that some of the older and wiser members than me will be able to help out

In fact if you contact Woolfy, who lives in Coventry and is a brilliant restorer of these vehicles, he will be able to advise you.[:X]

A big welcome from me to the Madhouse
There's a lot of strange things going on with this van, but it could all be very innocent and just be someone's 'upgrade' as we said, but without looking over it properly you just don't know. Personally I think the price is a little optimistic:I

Better looking and with more hair - but older and wiser, I don't think so Les. I've got at least 30 years to catch up on you

Nice van, but the front bumper has to go.
