No problems.
Do you need to know the trim colour?

Yep, 18V = "Slate" black vinyl.
I dont know my Sandmans, but in a GTS that trim code also meant there was a red (i.e. crimson) stripe. Answer is probably somewhere in this huge thread!

Rarity indeed. Thats only the second HQ Belmont Sandman ute and 3rd non-Kingswood Sandman ute pre mid-HJ I have ever seen. The HX XU3 is the 4th only Acacia Ridge XU3 recorded as well. _______________________________________________________ If we all had the same (good) taste, who would buy all the Fords? |

Just noticed the column shift thingy there in the last photo. Dont know what the story is there as the tags had original rivets.

Tags are definitely from an original Sandman unless it was destined for NZ or imported back from there.

Found this HZ base model p/van on Ebay tonight that is advertised as a genuine Sandman. This is a perfect example of how an optioned up base model van can be mistaken for a genuine Sandman. Fairly original van, the front is obviously original to it and I think he may be fibbing about the GTS steering wheel. Not sure how he thinks the Vehicle Identification Certificate verifies it as the genuine article when Sandman is not listed as the model name? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/O...N_W0QQitemZ320382750921

It should be relatively easy to prove its not ie lack of headlining and interior light switch wiring.
Holden have no records that a van or ute is a Sandman so it is impossible for them to say it is unless its an Acacia Ridge example in which case there is no use getting a letter as XX7 or XU3 is there for all to see. Those letters are next to useless in my opinion as they always seem to stuff something up, which sometimes makes me wonder if its done on purpose. In recent times ive seen repeat examples of a vehicles spec listing as L33 low comp 253 where the BODY clearly says L32 (or blank) and VIN has an R and also M22 where the body plate says M20 and its a 253. These are just the ones I have seen. All Holden can do is look up their records based upon the VIN and tell you what is recorded as mechanical options, when it was built etc. They cannot tell you if the chassis number is right (or even close to right hence the ADR plate matches the others (or not)), nor can they tell you if for say a non-HQ Pagewood van the BODY plate is correct for the other two plates.

Byron, were not talking about the authenticity letter from Holden which is a waste of paper. The vehicle identification certificate is the form (part No. 9944933 for HX) filled out by the selling dealer at the time of purchase and is normally stapled to the inside back of the owners guide, if the car is a Sandman then Sandman is usually written or typed in as the model name.

Got you. You are correct, I was thinking about the letter from Holden. You are correct the owners manual/guide will normally say Sandman if it is. Except for the examples where dealers made their own Sandmans out of BO6 Kingswoods and sold them as such.
