Hello all,
I haven't been on here for a while. I have had the Commer since late 2017 but circumstances have meant it has mostly sat in the garage for most of that time. There have still been many bouts of enthusiasm to improve, enhance and perfect- the van, not me, that is - if only!
The van is a 1961 Commer Bluebird camper and is in exceptional condition with no sign of ever being welded and having covered less than 29,000 miles from new. It really is in superb condition underneath. It had been re-sprayed a few years ago and still looks in fine fettle. The interior is mostly original.
When I bought it I set to with a full service of just about everything, so that all the oils, fluids, filters, grease points as well as service items in the electrics and ignition were replaced and set up. Had the van running well but I soon realised a few issues creeping in. I'll run through these in due course, in the meantime here are a couple of pics of the van.
Best wishes, Mick
