This rare Commer Express Delivery Van has been locked up in a shed for 30 years. Like so many other British barn finds, it looks like the shed is being overtaken by a garden, but thankfully, this particular find isn’t covered in undergrowth. The Commer shared much of its underpinnings with the Hillman Minx so it may not be as exotic as you were expecting. Find it here on eBay in the UK where bidding is over $3K.

The van is very honest, despite its three decades of storage. The seller says except for a few rust holes, the chassis is solid. It’s believable, too, as the body presents quite straight with the shut lines along the doors lining up near perfectly. The seller claims it was parked with its tired aired down and the radiator drained, clearly meant for long-term storage. The good news? It seemingly suffered no ill effects for its years off the road.

The interior is one of the best parts, looking more like it belongs in an art deco coupe than a utilitarian delivery van. The seats look like new, and the dash and floors present quite cleanly as well. For a worker vehicle with no mileage indicated, I’d have expected to see the cain completely trashed. This should have a four-speed gearbox on the column paired to a Hillman-derived 1.4L engine.

The boot was quite generous, with 100 cu feet in 1957. The preserved condition continues to the storage area, with a few spares noted, such as the radiator the prior owner removed before parking the Commer for an extended spell. With the range of British-built commercial vehicles produced in the 50s and 60s, the Commer is perhaps the individual’s choice in a sea of Mini Travelers and other vans; this one looks like it won’t take much to return the roads.
