They had one at the car show I went to last sunday. Commers have a
Westfalia-ish pop-top roof. It goes up on stilts and has 'bellows' to
bridge the gap between the roof cap and the actual roof. Bet it leaks ;-)
They also had a Triumph van! It was just a rebadged Standard Atlas, but I
think it also had camping gear in it. I took a few pictures, but it will
take a while for me to get them developed.
