Help with restoration work

[Dcordon]

Hello, my names Dan and I volunteer for a group that own a commer van. Im going to start doing some restoration and maintenance to it. I’m not sure of the model and there’s not a lot of information online about them. If anyone knows anything about this particular model it would be helpful. Unfortunately I’m not sure about part numbers for general service parts and consumables as the motor factors don’t recognise the reg.
Also I will be needing a water pump or a rebuild of the one on the vehicle if anyone can recommend somewhere for parts or a rebuild
I’ve attached some photos of the vehicle. Hopefully I’ll get her running great soon.
Thank you
Dan

Hi Dan and welcome

A Google image search says it's a 1962 Commer Superpoise, it looks like it has a Humber engine in the bay which is probably correct. Steve Williams is the man for these I'm sure he'll be along shortly to give more information, if not drop him a PM.

You may have seen a dark blue vintage van parked next to XH558 during our Airside Tours and Engine Ground Runs. This restored 1962 Commer Superpoise is

Here's a good place to start for a water pump.

Thank you for your help. That’s our van! She just needs a bit of tinkering.
I had guessed that it didn’t use the normal engine as I’ve found workshop manuals to have information on a different engine.
I’ll give classic spares an email. Looks like a very useful source for parts.
Hopefully I can get in touch with Steve and he can give me some advice.

Good luck and please keep us updated with your progress.
