Hi Byron, probably a big ask but I was wondering if you could post up how many Sandmans you have recorded in each colour. I am interested to know which are the most common and rarest colours of each model.

Ive got a 9/76 HX 202 M20 Acacia XX7 van with 9942990 placard recorded but that is a 77 model.
An 11/75 HJ 202 M20 Acacia XX7 van but no placard recorded.
A 2/76 HJ 202 M40 Pagewood XX7 van, but I never wrote down the placard as at the time I didnt think there was any significance to HJ placards. This van is the one in the photo on my website that shows the headlining rear strip. It had 4 wheel drums too! I have the plates off it.
Plus a few others in 76 model but no placards.
Your best bet is probably getting Nicks tyre placard off the 6cyl HX XX7 brochure car (red ute) that was built during HJ production (4/76). It has HJ 19V trim so it may have a HJ placard. Its on Ebay at the moment - has a white roof.

Bryon, i just got the Jamacian Lime HJ van home today. original paint and stickers. the Hippy guitar guy brochure pic is slightly different with a few aspects. - it looks to have premier mirrors, - the "sandman" side sticker is lower than mine + others i have seen - also, no black outs around the windows/ doors.

Nice one.
My absolute favourite 2 Sandmans would be a HQ 308 4speed Kingswood Sandmans ute in white or yellow with black trim or a HJ 308 TH400 Kingswood Sandman ute in yellow with black trim. I like the earlier ones better as they have GTS guards and stripes are nicer, although HZ vans/utes especially white with delete stripes look good too.
There often appear to be differences between brochure cars and the real thing.
Absinth, one day ill get around to doing colour and trim lists. It wont tell you much though. Just look at how many blue and silver GTS327s are around today. From what ive been told red and yellow were much more common when new.

For me, the HX is the least desirable.
single headlight, no GTS guards.

Unfortunately thats a HX 6cyl XX7 or XU4 one, meaning your ute is a true hybrid ie some HJ some HX.

Thats what I thought when I checked the number. Funny that they had the tyre placard sorted but not the trim code.

yes got your email cheers. your correct is very interesting that they even had the placards made by than. If you get bored id love a pic. out of interest.
I dont plan on reproducing it as rare spares are now reproducing tyre placards. so how many non sandmans will there be with sandman placards??
Byron i will try to email you later on. I will send you some pics of the tyre placards i have reproduced. also some pics of the rare spares one. Good thing is the rare spares ones are incorrect and incorrect layout/size/font. So it will be easy to pic a fake placard on a non sandman if brought from rares. I do not sell a sandman placard to someones that car is not a sandman. (has got me in trouble atleast once on ebay). But thought you maybe interested to see the correct original vs my repros vs rares repros.
(sorry not trying to have a go at rares. they produce many parts that we would be screwed without.)
Cheers
Jason |

Only approx the first half of HQ Sandman build had vents. The last 3 months or so of them were blank.

T-Dog. more info is needed to identify which colour trim you should have.
HJ or HX Sandman?
60A or 60V if a HJ .....60A is Chamois/Black and 60V is Chamois/Covert
HX Sandman with 60A trim code would have black dashpad and glovebox, black carpet and Chamois headlining.
HJ Sandman with 60A trim code would have black dashpad and glovebox, black carpet and Chamois headlining.
Hj Sandman with 60V trim code would have covert dashpad and glovebox, black carpet and Chamois headlining.
