Dear Commer Community,
I have not been on here for quite sometime.... but have finally decided that we will be selling 'Wilma' over the next month or so. We have had great fun with our babies and then children, camping extensively in South/North Wales and Devon and Cornwall... but we have now out grown her. We will be absolutely gutted to see her drive away.... but think the time has come.
As an inaugural member of this site back in 2005... (and previously whatever the site was called)... I have had great support and help in maintaining our beloved Commer pb Autosleeper 1970. Back then there was not much help around online, but Martin, Panky, CR and others have been brilliant since the site was set up... thanks Admin!!.
I'll not go into great detail now about Wilma, but she is featured somewhere on here on the members vans section. She has also been extensively featured in 'Practical Classics' magazine twice.... June 2006 and Sept 2007 - 'Star car.' She is totally original and has only had one previous owner and covered about 34,000 miles from new. (We have owned her since 2003 and the previous owner from new in 1970). She was unused from 1980 until 2002 and is therefore very solid with very little welding ever undertaken. (Just new cab door skins from CCP).
I am not sure how to go about selling her, whether to put her on Ebay or perhaps advertise just on CVF. She is currently stored in my friends barn, but has a current MOT (due soon) and is Tax exempt. I just need to get her out and MOT'd and of course a little clean up.
Anyway, if you are interested or know someone who might be, please watch this space. I am unsure what she is worth, but will look to get serious 'bunce' for her as she is an historic vehicle and is totally unmolested and original, except for electronic ignition and the sympathetic re-upholstering of all her cushions and curtains.
Regards,
Ray
