Well in an exciting move, after receiving an interesting introduction letter, work on the Commer restoration has finally, after 12 years been resumed.
We bought our 1949 Commer Commando first in a flush of enthusiasm when we started Cumbria Classic Coaches and although work progressed rapidly in the first 6 months, when we bought the already restored Leyland Lion the business of actually operating our classic fleet took over and the Commer was put on a back burner.
Therefore our fans will be delighted to know that Rusty Trucks aka Paul Brooks of Warcop are manufacturing a new front end and we hope to get it fitted by the end of November, hopefully also, time willing Alison will be looking at the interior this winter, (first Paul has to fill up the holes on the bulkhead and then the cat can be kept out!).
Details of Pauls work so far can be seen on http://rustytrucks.tripod.com/
love it! my loyalty to ob's is challenged now
