Has anyone got a Commer Van that they wish to part with would prefer windowless but not real fussy?
I wish to swap for my splitty van (I DONT WANT TO SELL THE VAN I ONLY WISH TO SWAP!)

For anyone interested hears a bit on the van
Its a 56 or 57 splitty windowless van in need of full ground up resto, i got it as a shell with all hanging panels, i have since found a front and rear end (not fitted) for it but thats it no engine (have a box) no front seat no lights most other stuff there. it has factory safari screens need new glass in one and a good clean up.
It is
rusty the roof is the worst bit of the van, front floor has some, passenger sill gone, cargo floor is dinted but not to bad for rust the drivers side of the van is very straight passenger side is pretty good also
If you want to know anymore give me a ring, 0433331085

There is a pic of the van here.

Hey Callum,
I guarantee you wont find a better c o m m e r van than James' one.
Before buying it I looked at half a dozen. And have since looked at a few more. None were in as good condition than James', That thing is the easiest project you'll ever get

Yeah, have to agree on that. Starts, runs, drives, straight and rust free.
easy project this one.
Oh, and no windows makes it very cool
cheers Mick

I have been and looked at james van and yes it is a clean unit, i haven't ruled it out by anymeans. i am just looking at all options as it turns out one is out of my price/means range.
sorry im not doing what everyone wants me to do....lol
