The Commer BF was a light/medium duty [[van]] produced by Commer from 1957, with a design similar to that of the present [[Multi-stop truck|step-van]]. Many examples of these vans were coach-built as [[Ice cream van|ice cream vans]] and [[Ambulance|ambulances]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://whippy.com.au/ |title=Trevor Thornton |access-date=2010-07-02 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110217233821/http://www.whippy.com.au/ |archive-date=17 February 2011 |df=dmy-all }}</ref> A number of [[chassis cab]] versions were also produced but most of these went for export to countries such as [[Hong Kong]], where they were converted as [[Pickup truck|pickup trucks]] and [[Box truck|box trucks]] with local bodywork and some other modifications. It had a {{convert|1.5|LT|abbr=off|comma=off}} payload and relatively powerful engines for its size and time. Production ended in 1966 after Commer had launched the newer [[Commer#Commer_Walk-Thru|Walk-Thru]] in 1961, leading to the BF being offered as a cheaper alternative to what eventually became its successor.<ref>{{cite web |title=Commer BF van by Matchbox |url=https://gibitrains.pagesperso-orange.fr/en/autos/commer_camionnette-matchbox.htm |website=Gibitrains |access-date=14 December 2022}}</ref> More heavy-duty versions of the BF range were also offered with the same engine as the [[Commer#Commer_Superpoise|Superpoise]] trucks.

Due to the relation between Commer and [[Karrier]] at the time, a [[rebadged]] version of the BF was also built and sold by [[Karrier]] with somewhat more economical engines compared to its original counterpart.
