Bodywork is by Cuerdens of Blackburn, Lancashire according to another posting on this site.

Nice to see this lovely Commer looking so good. I believe it has a Cuerdon body - does anyone know whatever happened to Cuerdon? I think they were based in Blackburn and did quite a few fire appliances for Lancashire County. Ian Moore is putting together a list but if anyone knows about them, I'd be pleased to know more. As far as this appliance is concerned, was it once owned by a Mr K. Green of Stowmarket?

No it was never owned by Mr Green, it has been owned by Don Harding and friends since it left IFF factory in Haverhill.

Very similar to the three Commers bodied by Plaxtons.

These had the Plaxton bus cowl, which also suppressed the front cab doors, but which had bi-folding rear cab doors instead of sliders.

This example joins the ranks of the weird Commers, with various bodybuilders' efforts to improve on the rather obvious idea of a full forward control four door cab!
