Hello everyone , found this site via Baz who ive known for quite some time , not sure if my Commer is quite what your forums all about but never mind here i am , Ive got a Restall converted Commer Imp van , fitted with side windows and the restall rear seat , bought in 91 for £50 from a local scrappys , Piccys to follow soon hopefully , oh and Hello Baz
Welcome to the Madhouse
All Commers (and any other classic as it happens) welcome[8D] We are Commerfans and that usually goes hand in hand with all sorts of old stuff.
Sounds like you've got a rare bird there, we would love to see it at a meet soon - then we can decide if you are mad enough
How good is the load carrying capacity of the van what with the engine being at the back?! (I've heard there is a German company that used to make vans with aircooled engines at the back - how silly ) More piccies please!
As panky says we tend to like rare old stuff here, for example here's bugarit's new toy (swiftly becoming a new fave of mine!)
Cheers for the welcome Bit worried the Commer wouldnt fit in on here but hopefully you will like it . She has about 50 cubic feet of space plus a bit in the front boot and a quater of a ton load weight limit , not too many left , about 15 - 20 at a guess , this is the only full restall converted Commer ive seen , theres a couple with just the rear seat done , i suspect youve seen the one just sold on ebay , loads of piccys to come but il post them in drips and drabs
Hi Remmoc, Welcome to the forum Great van You are joining a growing list of Impers on here, myself , Baz and Alan Peterson in the USA amongst them.
I know of a Commer Imp Restall conversion in my area which is S/E Essex but as you say there are very few about.

back to my "rootes"
Thanks for the welcome , Ive met Alan a few times , even delivered some Imp stuff to my house he bought over from the States for me , Talked imps , Drank tea and ate beef jerkey , i kid you not P.S I cant believe no one had used Remmoc as a name on here before ,I must have a twisted mind [:0]
Alan was trying to sell his Commer back in March when I was over in Seattle. I think he was asking about $8,000 for it. I even tried to sell it to one guy for him, I thought my terribly terribly British accent would help!
If I told you I was a pathological liar, would you believe me? I'M GETTING A HIGHWAYMAN !!!
