Hi all,
I'm new here and i'm looking at buying an early 60's Commer FC van. It has the single light at the front beside the headlight.
However, before i make 4000km round trip to Tasmania to check it out i want to make sure it will fit in the garage.

So, can anyone tell me with certainty what the maximum height of a van is?
It's a tin top not a pop top however it does appear to have a vent on the roof behind the front seats. I believe it is factory fitted.
Apparently it was a school bus in Tassie but was turned into a camper then garaged in '84.

The owner can't tell me, he just had a hip replacement.
Sorry if this has been asked before, i've searched the forum nothing came up about tin tops, only campers.

Cheers,
 
Hi and welcome :)
Looks like a great van with a unique conversion - I like it:cool:
The page below should give you all the info you need

Fairly accurate Axle weights

Got a garage round the corner that’s just had his MOT rollers installed so he let me have a go on them to test the brake efficiency after I rebuilt them all (as I don’t MOT it anymore). It’s a one only remaining Norwich Conversions and has an alloy head engine and alloys so maybe slightly...

That's brilliant.
Looks like she'll fit.
A road trip might be in order, if the bloody rain ever stops!

Thanks Panky.
