I’m starting to think about a truck restoration. Thinking that my dad was a Hillman / Commer dealer back in the sixty’s, I’d like to restore a Commer truck circa 1960-ish. Either a ridged or articulated vehicle, actually I’d love a ridged flat back or tipper. Ideally the truck engine would be a Roots TS3.
Anyone know where I can find one?

JohnnyBoy, there is a late 60's Commer truck just what you are looking for just up the road from me about 10 km away in good condition, slight problem is that you are on the other side of the world. Possibily still with its Rootes TS3 in it.(I'm still looking for the cylinder head bolts !)TSG.
