I took delivery of the commer this morning!
Aside from the massive dent in the side the rest is in really good working order!
(apart from the gearbox needing a re-build, the propshaft needing renewing, the mouse/rat infestation sorting out, the rewiring and the rusty front end)
Not bad for £31 hey!
Pictures will follow at some point today when poggy comes round to assess my purchase and take adam to the barn.

PICS!!!!!!!!!!! OUCH! Some gat-toothed traveller scrabbling on the floor The captain's quarters: Genuine mileage? Oh, please, you are kidding, right? It's actually not as shockingly horrendous as I though it was going to be. Apart from the skewering damage it's not too shabby. Needs work obv. but not much. I think if we'd had more time today we would have actually had it running.

Gordon bennett, what a shame about the forklift damage. Otherwise looks surprisingly decent!!!

Is the front of the roof as dodgy as it looks in the pics? Looks like it could be a bit thin there! The rest looks suprisingly good.
As I can't be arsed to do anything today, I'm going to trundle off down to the scrappy near me where that white Commer is and give it the once over for you. Post some pics later.

Awesome machine! I was hoping there'd be a Comma enter the RR fold soon. What are the plans for it? With that shape, I reckon bare-metal would look stunning! Any engine transplants lined up? Or are you gonna drive it as is?
