This page has old magazine reviews and reports to do with Commers and the TS3/4 motors. Some of these are internal memos or reports supplied by and reprinted with the kind permission of Mark Erskine and /or Don Kitchen. We are exceedingly lucky to have access to these and they make fascinating reading.

Apologies for the quality of some of these, but in many instances, the originals were low quality photocopies.

The files are reasonably large so be prepared for a wait while they download. You will need Acrobat Reader to open these files on your computer. If you are unable to open these files, download and install the Reader here

If you would like better quality copies (but much larger files) please contact the webmaster
