After replying to Buzzy's thread re a large van,I started searching for Commer 30cwt pics.All i could come up with so far is this interesting lot,in Australia!

Are there none of these large Commer vans left on the road in the UK?
I gather the official name was Commer BF series,available in 25 and 30 cwt.
There are more pics and models of the Matchbox examples than there are real live vans:(.
As a kid,I always considered them to have a friendly "face",but for some reason they became quite grim looking once they lost their hubcaps.

a friend of mine has just sold a grocer's mobile shop version, I'll see if I can find the pics. It was a bit sad looking .. but has gone away to be restored apparently.
