This HZ Kingswood van is advertised on Ebay as a Sandman but I noticed the paint code is a HT colour "Spanish Red" which would make this an unusual van to own I would think or is it a colour that continued to be used throughout the years.

It's not a Sandman, it's an XU4 Kingswood.
Not sure about the Spanish Red.
It's also got a GVW of 1950kg which again is wrong for a 1979 Sandman, which have a 2000kg GVW.

Hi Guys.

Spanish Red is also called Nullabor Red & Firethorn Red for different model series (all use the same Dulux shade number). Firethorn was the red used for VC Brocks & was available in the HZ/WB/VB/VC era.

Hi fb.

We're talking about the code, not the colour. It's probably been repainted.
