Many examples of these vans were coach-built as ice cream vans and ambulances. A number of chassis cab versions were also produced but most of these went for export to countries such as Hong Kong and Sweden, where they were sometimes converted as pickup trucks and box trucks with local bodywork and some other modifications. It had a payload and was fitted with a 2267 cc Straight-4 ohv Humber Hawk engine alongside the transmission. A diesel version of the same engine was also available. Production ended in 1966 after Commer had launched the newer Walk-Thru in 1961, leading to the BF being offered as a cheaper alternative to what eventually became its successor. Due to the relation between Commer and Karrier at the time, a rebadged version of the BF was also built and sold by Karrier.
