'WILMA' FOR SALE!

Razor7 said:
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

Is she still for sale and a price please?
 
She is going to be MOT'd this week.... I will be looking for offer in excess of 10k to start with. She is worth it! - Saw the one on Ebay go for over £4k last week, which needed ALOT of work... (Full restoration) to make it anywhere near the condition of Wilma.
Thanks, Ray
 
Hi
Wilma looks so good that I would also be interested in buying from you. Would you take the highest bid or simply have a fixed price? Where abouts are you based?
 
Hi Trevor,

We are based in Cornwall... the holiday capital of the UK! .... and VW's everywhere this time of year!! lol

Not sure how to sell her... will probably go on the CVF first, but Ebay will probably realise the best price. I will only let her go if the price is right.

Thanks, Ray
 
That is very handy. I would definitely like to meet up if the timing is right.
Btw, we're staying at Dennis Cove. It's a lovely little spot where we also stayed last year.
 
Wilma passed MOT yesterday as expected. No advisories. I have also given her a very good clean and taken loads of photo's. I will try and get around to posting them later today or tomorrow.... a few at least, for anyone interested. The problem when you give your van a really good clean is..... you then want to keep it after all! But we need the money for our latest (Last!) building project, so she will be put up for sale. I have a lowest acceptable price in mind, but will hold onto her if this is not reached.

Will be in touch.
Thanks, Ray

if you Whatsapp or text them to yourself first and then resave that picture and that you can then upload them easily... What i do when i get that message
 
Odd - the forum has no limits imposed, so I have tried adding a limit of 10Mb now - see if that works for you Ray?
 
Hello. Very interested in the van. Please can you let me know the price please so i can see if i can afford it.
Many thanks
