Vehicle description
Thanks for stopping by to take a look at our cool 1968 Commer Autosleeper. Never seen one? Thought it was a VW? Yep, this is something your friends don’t have. It lights people up at Cars and Coffee and is great to get the kids out camping or to the beach.
Spring cruising weather is around the corner!
Commer was a British marque of the Rootes Group that made commercial vehicles like vans and buses for many years, primarily for the home UK market. The drivetrain was shared with other Rootes brands, the Sunbeam Alpine and Hilman. Originally this caravan was exported to, and sold in Canada, which is why it is left hand drive. Eventually it made its way to Washington State where mechanical and interior restorations were performed. She is very original and runs excellently.
Rarity You won’t likely see another Commer in the USA. There are very, very few. You will see plenty of Volkswagen vans and Westfalia campers. Get ready for conversations because everyone does a double take and few have ever seen one of these.
The original paint shows a beautiful patina and some light rust along with a couple whiskey kisses that just add to the overall survivor look outside. No impact evidence or aftermarket paintwork is seen indicating a “no hit” life.
Minilite alloy wheels and radial tires
The engine, 4 speed transmission and differential have been rebuilt. The cooling system has been refreshed. Brakes have been serviced. The 1725 cc Sunbeam Alpine engine runs well. This is a traditional front engine, rear wheel drive vehicle. She runs, drives and stops excellently.
Cool retro interior includes Refaced cabinets New flooring is hospital grade that’s easy to clean Fresh seating and cushions are reversible. Cloth on one side and vinyl on reverse Dining area/table converts to passenger van seating 6’ bed plus a kids cot that stretches across the front seats Pop top Privacy curtains plus cab curtain Sink Analog record player 110 inverter. USB charging ports Bluetooth audio Caravan brochure Sugar, Spice and Everything Nice
Needs Depending on your tastes, an exterior refresh may be in order. The windscreen has a blemish.
DMV The California title is clean and in my name. The vehicle is insured and California plated with 2022 tags.
Inspection Please come inspect this great car before the listing ends. We are happy to meet you and show her off. The details contained in this listing are based on our review of the vehicle and any errors or omissions are unintentional. Please keep in mind that this is a 54 year old used car. It will need periodic attention just as any classic does. It is not a new car and will not be fresh and perfect like that new soul sucking Camry your Aunt Betty drives. If that’s what you are after, this is not your era, nor your car so please move on to something boring. Like a Prius.
