No connection to seller.

Nice looking vehicle, seller is a bit off on his info.

I would say it looks to be in nice shape.

Nice looking is subject to debate, and from my viewpoint quite a stretch!

Perhaps, but as far as funwagons are concerned, one of the nicest Ive ever seen for sale.

He was incorrect about the rarity to start with (only one in the US), and the 1595 engine (ok 1592 is close enough).

There was one of these at the United in Daytona about four years ago.

there aren't too many in the states. john artz had one, the one at daytona and this one. anyone know of any others? i think john's had a 1725 in it.

Ive seen several on ebay over the years in addition to the known vehicles.

so how many do you think there are in the states?

 

[sunbeam74]

I would have guessed only about 10-20 exist in the US. 20 might be optomistic I would guess. There had been one on Craigslist/Ebay in the New England area about 2-3 years ago.

Does anyone own the comer van like the one in this photo in the US? I have seen the campers but not the van like this.

There was one rotting on the side of the road near Dayton a few years ago - Ian and I went to look at it.

Hmmmm.... maybe we paint it Sahara Beige and put the Rootes Service graphics on it....

It would pair nicely with your Sebring Tribute.

I sent this one to the wife, being a local car/rv thing.....
She never replied to the email....wonder why?

 

[RootesRacer]

Its up again on CL, this time they say its in Denver.

They still seem to think its the only one in the US.

 

[RootesRacer]

Its back....
Price is coming down.

I think opportune words are "ONLY ONE KNOW TO BE FOR SALE IN USA" Implies it's the only vehicle, but perhaps technically accurate that it's the only one currently for sale.

Perhaps the current owner is trying the various CLs until he/she gets a taker. The phone listed is a wireless in the Denver area though.

I hope it finds a good home.
