We'll be there this weekend if anyone wants to pop in and say hello. Camping with a few Commer friends, near Boston Lincs

Some great pictures

I used to have a Maico mobile and an NSU Prima in the 90,s.The commer was a great van and even better as a caravanette better than the Thames Trader of the same period

Looks a good outing at a great location! I also look forward to having a Commer that moves under its own power one day!
Nutshell caravan wings? Looks suspiciously like a bisected washing up bowl, but I may be wrong...

I see the rally is near Warwick this year, we were invited to attend last years event, at Wetherby racecourse, with the Commers from Commervanfan. Very interesting and some very unusual vehicles

We're at the bottom of the photo gallery for the 2014 rally
The museum is well worth a visit if you're in the area.
'just wondering if my old Herald would make it that far!'
You could always borrow a Minor

No not this year. We were invited by a guy with a micro car collection who bought a Commer van of a friend of mine - he's restoring it and is going to cart his bubble cars around in it
'think my Herald should make it the 36 miles there '
But will it make the 36 miles back

If it's the one I'm thinking of I know the guy in his Post Office Engineers van

He would have been heading south after or Commerfest at the weekend.

He was heading home to Devon and the Postbus came down, to the event in Yorkshire, from Scotland
