Commer Cars Ltd, founded in 1905, was a British manufacturer of commercial vehicles from that date right up to 1979, including light vans, medium to heavy commercial trucks, military vehicles and buses. The company had mixed fortunes and was sold on several times, firstly to Humber before becoming part of the Rootes Group. Rootes were also taken over by Chrysler in the 1970s when the Commer name was replaced by Dodge.

The Commer Q25 was a 25 cwt van was manufactured between 1939 and 1949. It was a popular choice for delivery vehicles due to its reliability, fuel efficiency, and ease of maintenance.

Our Q25 shows advertising featuring Sprite Boy who was a marketing character created by Coca-Cola in 1942 to help promote the company's Coca Cola drink. He was a sprite, or elf, with a mischievous grin and a twinkle in his eye. He was often depicted wearing a 'soda jerk's cap' or a hat designed to look like a Coca-Cola bottle cap.
