The chap I am buying the Commer Walk Thru from used that to go to Beaulieu about '89. Still has the sticker with his plot number in the window and he still has the same plot.

Any updates on the Commer? I'm guessing the owner isn't keen on having a lot of folks about at the moment?

Not an expert on Moggy values I'm afraid but seems reasonable for a "crossover" with many new parts fitted?

I'd roll in it too. Father Honda had one in exactly the same duotone combo c. 1979, bought for £125. Sold a year or two later for £45. (JJB 105D)

Many a happy trip to the pub (for a sit in the hotel car park, whilst the parents had a cheeky couple of drinks in the car and we got some Coca-Colas) the horn rim was adorned with folded and tied KP peanut bags.)

I used to see a minor which had a mild rodded in the 70s look to it. Genuinely was used daily in all weathers, always thought they were a much better alternative to a Beetle

Quite a hansome beast viewed from the front but what were they thinking re the back end? Kinda narrow rear track doesnt help.
