Jon It Looks fairly similar to an immaculate & unrestored '67(?) Commer Camper that turned up at the last Scottish Rootes Enthusiasts show. I'll get some more info from it's owners when / if I see them again, and hopefully a photo. Does yours have a full, wooden interior, as original?

you'll be needing a Panhard rod and flattened springs, methinks ;-)
