The Commer Story

The Commer Story charts the evolution and history of one of Britain's principal commercial vehicle manufacturers.

Truly a history of the company and its people, as well as its products, The Commer Story provides this famous firm at last with a well-deserved tribute. Well researched and lavishly illustrated, no commercial vehicle enthusiast will want to be without it.
