Nice work. Would like to see a pic with the bonnet on. Am interested to see how the paint scheme blends into the front diagonal grey stripe.

I buy Vaux with this reg. no.

 

in Germany, wants make this english/arab reg.no from early years war, but see only few fotos, for example Morris have this reg.no.plate, I dont know it was similar for staff cars(?)

but water go out side, gearbox problem, much work, long way to the "Western desert"

I'll second that, looking good , interesting paint scheme.

Not much more than that, I wouldn't have thought, by comparison with restored stuff that's about. Is it just me, or are people asking (and sometimes paying) really stupid money for stuff these days?

 

Don't know about this one, but last year the same seller offered a Morris Commercial C4 GS, "older restoration, complete but not running (electricals to renew)", for 16000 €....

 

But you've got to hand it to him, he has a knack for finding unusal & rare stuff! :thumbsup:

Owner wait best offer , think over 10000euros.....

I like this small Commer(little brother for my Q2), but this high price is over me.

I dont know how much be price this car after full reconstruction?

Tom

That link doesn't work, but I was just looking at the advert. Almost like a few locals sneaked onto the beach after Dunkirque and snaffled it away into a shed!!! An amazing survivor!

I see more pictures, its nice project for reconstruction, but its very, very, very expensive price.

oh,oh, I cry....:cry:

thanks for your quick answer !!

 

P-O

yes, it true, one Cromwell(ex-Charioteer, ex-Cromwell) star from Band of brothers is here in musem,

but not good condition.....

Tom

The new "correct" Manifold and Carb assembly restored and ready to go on this coming Saturday.
