	Let's have some Commers, quirky designs that we just don't see about the place much anymore. Highwayman Camper Cob BF Coach 1976 Camper 1961 Fire Engine Ecurie Ecosse (didn't know this one was a Commer until hunting out Commers today) Radford bodied woodie Love this photograph. So much win it actually hurts. Pick-up, home-brewed or from the factory? Want to save this one, but I can't It's like an angry bee. British TeleCommer - a decommissioned one of these, privately owned, is what first got me interested in Commers when I was little. I bet there's loads more interesting Commers out there I don't know about. There's a few Commers on RR that I do know about so I'm going to pimp them here, seems appropriate. 1973 Camper - retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=readersrides&action=display&thread=88713 1966 Commer Imp - retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=readersrides&action=display&thread=59670 1972 Highwayman Camper "Peggy" - retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=readersrides&action=display&thread=69579

If everyone was allowed to post there then it would have 10 new pages per day. Commers are definitely really cool, although sadly I don't see enough of them!

	I must be getting confused then, I was sure it was open replies at one point. Well hopefully the Commer will appear there courtesy of the mods then

	This one is thought to be one of the oldest Commer campers on the road. Some piece of scum torched it a month after this photo was taken.

	Oh no, my commercial vehicle rash has come back! ;D If that's the ladder, I don't wanna see the snake. 1950 Commer Ute: Surprised no-one's mentioned the Walk-thru, surely a better choice of camper: And Commer's kissing cousin, Karrier. The GMC trucks to Chevrolet's equivalent: "I love to go a-wandering, along the mountain path..."

	I have a massive Commer Camper shaped itch that one day I must scratch. What are they actually like to drive though? with that wheel tuck they look like they could be a bit dicey in the bends?

	The early non plastic fronted ones are all lovely, but in my book this thing speeds immediately into the 'fugly' category, and straight out the other side, into a zone marked 'ultimate win' LOVE it - and I don't know why

	I also have love for the Commer vans; the Green Citrus one and the Chrysler race team ones are beautiful! Back in the 70's early 80's my mate Steve worked for Telecom and drove one. Going in it was quite an alarming experience as it had no 'handling' to speak of, allied to his driving (like he stole it) style. He actually managed to barrel role one in Mayes rd in Wood Green after clipping the curb which made the local paper much to his pride...

	The little roundy commer vans are lovely, definitely prefer them to VWs any day. I wouldnt mind that flat fronted police walk thru either, the blue one
