The stripes are dull and lacking the outlines that set them off. They look great when in good nick.
Can someone tell me if the van roofs from the seam below the side windows are all the same? I heard that from HQ through to WB the tops were identical but read somewhere that different plants produced different shapes
Cheers
Pete

It is an XX7 Sandman, easy one to pick. Twin front isnt original though. It was originally a 308. Not that certain on headlining. Neutral (Chamois) is supposed to be standard on HJ base model. With 19V trim I imagine itll be Neutral. Absinth has a better handle on this at the moment.

I know. I bought it yesterday. I just wish theyd asked me to check it out before publishing as they have made a fair few novice errors.

I know I was more pointing out that they are not original and are an interresting way of someone doing them. Cheers Jason |

What are these errors? Has it got to do with the badges on the tailgate?

HQ Sandman vans and utes are based upon Belmonts. Wrong.
"came with Monaro-style louvered mudguards". No. GTS style as per what they say about instruments.
The sentence about wild colours including the full range of HQ Monaro metallics, with decals in up to six different colour combinations. Wrong. Metallics have little to do with Monaro (paint is really the Kingswood range), and HQ only has 2 x stripe colours. They are probably referring to HZ but the sentence doesnt read that way.
Once the GTS sedan was discontinued in 1979, the Sandman line also dissapeared. Nope. GTS was gone early 1979. Sandman lasted until late 1979, almost to the end of HZ.

As far as I know there is no such thing as BHX on HX commercials. I have AHX until 8/77 from all assembly plants.
In regards to ADR changes I have recorded several 1 and 2/79 HZ commercials with CHZ but the sedans are still BHZ until 4/79 what was the change and why only commercials initially?

Itll just be an ADR change that happened later on the passenger vehicles or vice versa. HX is probably intrusion bars in passenger vehicles but commercials didnt get them.

No, and a rare one too. I have hardly any HQ-HJ Belmont/Holden Sandman utes recorded, most are Kingswood. 8WM80 XX7/XU3 was dropped mid HJ, so they are only around from 1/74 to 2or3/76. Only the 2nd HJ (have 1 x HQ also) Acacia Ridge example. Do you have the chassis number?

Ive been looking through some Sandman brochures and 70s magazines and have found a lot of discrepancies. First off is HJ Sandman interior. The first pic is from the HJ brochure and the second is a 2yr old (at the time) HJ Sandman in CV&T. Only 2yrs old and the owner has fitted a Prem front and Statesman Caprice dash. Note the different door trims.   Next is HX interior. This is the road test HX Sandman van CV&T picked up from Fishermans Bend to road test in Oct. 76 Note the HJ console  Now mirrors.... HX Sandman with coloured mirrors  Van Action road test of HX Sandman van and ute. Van has coloured mirrors and Ute has black mirrors.  Then.... we have a HZ Sandman van with black mirrors.   My question is.... are these just differences between promotional vehicles and production vehicles or were there differences between assembly plants? With the HJ door trims, I have seen other examples of Sandmans with the same base model door trims as in the second picture.
