Looks like it could be. the M in the code's a good sign, as is the seating capacity. Not sure about the weight though. Look inside the van above the upper tailgate too, to see if theres any sign of the bracket thing which held the full headlining in place

If it is then it's an XU3 ie 14.5cwt carrying capacity. Does it still have GTS guards, dash, wheels? What about evidence of full headlining? And courtesy light switches?

Tyre placard means nothing in HJ. Statesman front is wrong - should be the same as a Belmont sedan. Email me the whole ID and i'll have a better look for you.

yep I agree, the numbers look good, ie; it probably is Sandman, though the GVM is inconclusive. Lucky to still have the dash and (particularly) the seats, worth re-upholstering (to original) if damaged, - if they are original (black basically). The GWM
