[Dougs Third Go]

this was mine (as a kid):lol:

 

[Gazzer]

Flat out most days and never got bored of the sound on over run.

Has to be any old Ford, Escort or Transit, purely for the mechanics, if it broke down you could fix it on the road side 9 times outta ten, hell you could do an engine change in a half shift lol

Two stroke?

not sure Trevor, i just like the old fashioned retro look of them. Doubt they would be the most practical van but given the chance id certainly have one if it worked

You liked spending money on repairs Rob:lol:

 

[binsy]

The commer was the people carrier of its time ! there were seven kids in our family ,all in the back on wooden benchseats if i remember rightly,no seat belts and only 3 gears?? would love one now,probably cost a fortune!

I've always had a soft spot for the Bedford CA, the boss in my first job had one.

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

they made the moggy -miner in my home town , if you look at the badge on the bonned it is an OX crossing a ford , and that represents the Best city in the country barr -none OXFORD ,. and my old dad probs worked on most of them LOL........

 

[Time's Ran Out]

My first van the Morris Minor! Had to get under the engine a hit the starting motor with a hammer when it stuck! Went all over the country in that van - did a bit of tiling as well.

 

[charlie1]

Ok, was speaking to a guy tonight who knows his vans and he told me the commer was an utter rubbish piece of engineering, no surprise there !! But imagine seeing one with your logo on it,... A masterstroke in marketing IMO, yes, not the most functional but I bet it would get the phone ringing with tastefully sign writing.

 

[Andy Tiler]

Mine gets a few looks!!! Lol
