Looks like one to me. 18V trim is Kingswood and Sandman trim in a HX, and a 1950kg GVW gives you about a 95% chance also. Its a very early example too. |

An original Tuxedo black with silver stripes Sandman. What a find! Pity its only a 253, but will actually be rarer than a 308. The 65A (Sienna) trim code on a HX8WM70/80 almost guarantees a Sandman. It should also have:
GTS dash and steering wheel, GTS wheels, full length headlining. |

Only singles. If it looks and smells like a Sandman and has a twin front it will be a BO6 ambulance pack. |

Its probably DX5 (plum, purple, dark blue) or DY6 (blue/purple) stripes. HOWEVER, Atlantis blue is paint code 1934 and according to the ordering procedure you could only get DY4 with that colour. BUT the stripe colours are somewhat ambiguous as you can see on my website. I actually guessed the codes vs colours for three codes so they could be around the wrong way. Or someone has bought the wrong stripes for your van when resprayed. With the colours vs codes on my website I think the first lot listed in the production option availability are incorrect as they are the same as HX, and someone forgot to fix them in the HZ manual. Id be more believing the 7/78 ordering procedure info and the 1980 revison of the parts text catalogue. |

Be careful of the info on that website as its not all there or not all correct. But the tyre placard quoted is correct for a HZ XX7 Sandman, with the XU3 version being 92001123. Dont panic if yours is different as its not hard to change a glovebox lid. Check for all of the other Sandman telltales. My website has details on it to help you with Sandman identification. The third icon on one of my posts will get you there. |
