Byron, I have a HQ van that has all the options of a Sandman from the factory but is not a Sandman, on the compliance plate there is no engine type or diff ratio, it is an original 2 seater and M20 as per the compliance plate, pity it was manufactured in 73. I have contacted Sandman clubs etc and they said that if it wasnt built in 73 they would have thought it was a Sandman. Does it warrant a mention in your register, maybe it was a prototype Sandman. I did own an original HQ Sandman in the 80s and still have some rego papers, I would be interested to see if it is still haging around

1973 means no Sandman, but I would still be interested in the ID data.

If its Acacia Ridge and a HJ Sandman it will have XX7 (or if late HJ possibly XU3) stamped in the top RH corner of the BODY plate and you dont have to be concerned about TRIM codes. Ive never seen a 60M trim before either. Only 60W, 60X, 60V and 60A. Is the M an upside down W?

Have a few of them now. All Acacia Ridge. Not really sure what to think about them either. One is a 3 seater as well.

Were there any limited edition sandmans built in 1975?.
Double interior light, van wall upholstery etc?

XU3 didnt start till some time in 1976 model.
I have photos of a Papaya "show" van, supposedly decked out in the back by Holden. Cowl even has "GMH test vehicle" stamped in it. Probably a motor show car.

I didnt see any photo with interior lights for the Papaya van. Does look factory though. I wonder if it was an option? _______________________________________________________ If we all had the same (good) taste, who would buy all the Fords? Edited by user Wednesday, 9 July 2008 5:42:17 AM(UTC)

All very interesting reading, the research you have done Byron is great, my qestion therefore is.....what is an absolutely original Sandman worth, they so rarely come up for sale without loads of rust, incomplete genuine features, in 308 with factory fittied features...etc etc...If one does come up how much is it reallly worth with say 300,00kms..your opinion would be greatly valued
