Definitely a Sandman. In HX commercials only Kingswoods or Sandmans had slate (18V) trim. Normal 'Belmont' commercials had black (19V). |

Do you know the colours name?
Is M used for Trim level in the VIN for Sandmans?

It was built in Melbourne, as exidenced by the M on the end of the chassis number, and the J5 in the VIN. All HQ-HZ van bodys were assembled in Elizabeth or Acacia Ridge and that is the reason why the A is on the BODY plate and also for the non-matching P |
