    Finally, we have had a large move around in the yard and we have purchased a portable garage for storage. As a result the Commer is now inside the workshop and we can really get a move on with the restoration. Being sheeted outside has really not helped us.

    Some useful spares still left on these vehicles. Quite true about locations, sometimes it takes years for people to get on the right side of landowners and often on the premise that locations are kept secret.

    Nice to have another Commer enthusiast on the forum. Welcome aboard.

    What a find in such great condition.

    Thats lovely to see so many people out observing the day. Also nice to see the vehicles on display. We only went to our village service so only a small affair.

    That sounds interesting, a project or finished article may I ask?
  7. Rootes75
    I like that, looks really decent condition.

    Looking really good. Did you end up buying a portable garage? I recall you pondering it?

    You need a big shed....

    Very poignant photos, I do like the first photo of the Dodge in the trees too.
  11. Rootes75
    Interesting project, any photos of the build?
  12. Rootes75
    Lovely photo, I wonder how many would have been re-purposed like this after the war?

    Its at this stage where if you aren't happy with it you can do something about it. Also, like you said its not an expensive mishap.

    It is a very nice looking machine.

    Actually, BHT was issued from Feb 1935 onwards so that narrows it down to the last 6 months of Model C production.

    I recall the Tank Museum having a Buffalo? Maybe contact them?
  20. Rootes75
    Yes, definately a Model C so it will be 1934 to late 1935, so only a short production run. The model was upgraded in late 1935 and became the CX, biggest difference being a few horizontal bars added to the grill.

    We use paint strainers and they are really useful but I would think those very big clumps would need fishing out first?
  22. Rootes75
    It looks really good and its nice to hear the project is back up and running.
  23. Rootes75
    From what we know, my Commer was sold off between 1946-8. I dont have contract numbers but I do have its chassis number.
  24. Rootes75
    How old was the paint? Thats a lot of lumps formed. I am toying with the idea of brush and roller painting top coats on ours as its outside. I do find spraying much quicker and easier though.

    Are the RLC keycards only postwar?
