Hi Kevin,

Along time ago I bookmarked this blog: https://nicokubel.blogspot.com/2020/...odel-q-15.html.
See Post #142 for the latest update I could find in that blog: https://nicokubel.blogspot.com/2021/...les-meyer.html
You may want to contact Nicolas for an update since 2021.

That's a long time since an update, 2021. I'd imagine its a lot further on now. I will enquire.

That's just great. And here is a photo of Jim Anderson in the same Commer Q2 30-cwt, during a liberaton day parade in Nijverdal, The Netherlands, May 1995.

I was chatting to a guy the other day and he was talking about some photos he had seen of the surviving Commer Beetle at Winkleigh, it started me wondering if anyone knows of the progress of the Beetle's Restoration?

Hi Kevin, I recall seeing photos of a surviving Commer Beetle in W&T magazine and HMVF Forum, but it was along time ago since I saw some kind of update.
