assuming you mean the camper, as the name suggests, it's a Commer
1974 AutoSleeper, bought in 1988 from m wife's father who had it since 1976, so same family for 34 years so far.
Just completing a bare metal restoration to set her up for the next 30 years.

Wheels are 15 inch, finally made the decision to replace cross ply tyres as part of the restoration, so she is now on Hankook radials all round.

New BM? I bet the snatchback list is groaning with choice right now.

Did you see the advert for brand new VW camper vans in the DT on Saturday? Wonder how good they are to drive?

New bay window campers will give reliability etc but personally you never get quite the classic feel with new replicas and actual new campervans are now better in so many practical ways.

oops still haven't mastered connecting replies to the post I was replying to.

Got the order in before the departures started, doesn't seem to be the pressure there was on previous occasions to take a snatchback rather than a new one, I know a couple of others who have ordered new this year and have not had a problem.
