about the GMH letter of verification:
GMH say they will give me a Sandman letter of verification my 1975 XX7, but not the 1979 XX7, because they lost the records from 1977 to 1985 or something.

Another rare van, probably a BO6 XU4. To the uninitiated this may appear as a Sandman. Anyone know the colour? Must be a fleet special? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/H...DVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Adam, 1887 is Chamois, not Absinth. Very rare colour. I only have one other recorded (a HX). _______________________________________________________ If we all had the same (good) taste, who would buy all the Fords? |

Not sure how Holden can give you a verification letter for a Sandman as the build records dont distinguish between a normal van and a Sandman. The only way they can do it is if its an Acacia Ridge example with XX7 or XU3 on the plate, and then they just tell you what you know anyway. _______________________________________________________ If we all had the same (good) taste, who would buy all the Fords? |

Bugger. I reckoned itd go for double that. I would have even considered paying $14k for it. Must be the current economic climate.

Because they were an option pack on a model. Like an XU-1 on a GTR, L34 on LH SLR5000, A9X on LX SLR5000, GTS on HQ Kingswood etc. Most of these you can pick because of unique identifiers, but Sandman can be difficult.

Great reading. Question I have is were the HJ Sandmans flutes in the gts guards blacked out or were they the same colour of the guards. Ive seen factory brochures with both which is the confusing part?
