Hi,
Does anyone know when Holden produced its first van with metallic paint? I'm trying to prove a mate either right or wrong.
Thanks,
Stuart in Qld

Maybe FJ by special order?

From memory the earliest HQ I have recorded in metallic is 12/73 but there were probably earlier one-off examples.

Plus when you remove paint it is normally obvious where the spot welded studs have been removed by grinder versus if it had none to begin with.

So HZ panelvans also would have had these as identifiers if they were kingswoods, but if a HZ panelvan didn't it wasn't a kingswood, then could it only be a sandman??

Kingswood vans only existed for HX and HZ, I'm not near my stuff at the moment so I'm not sure about strips on HX and HZ Kingsood vans. HOLDEN HX and HZ Kingswood vans don't have strips either whether they are XX7/XU3 or not if that is what you mean?

HQ Sandman seats are the same as any other HQ Belmont (or Kingswood for Kingswood XX7) with buckets. Same for HJ. I don't think HQ and HJ are the same though, seats are very different. Best bet is to ask the guys at mysandman.com.au who are actively restoring these models.

I'd say yes. I have never recorded a HQ Belmont commercial in metallic paint outside of the Brisbane plant that I could prove was NOT a Sandman. Only Brisbane appears so far to have broken that rule. Very rare thing to, not many HQ or HJ Belmont Sandman utes recorded at all.

Is too. Not sure why I thought it was a ute. Makes no difference anyway, I still reckon its a Sandman.

Mid 74 the vents disappeared, haven't found an exact date although I think there was some discussion on it in this thread.

Yes it is appears to be a genuine NZ delivered HZ Sandman. I would have bought it if I'd seen it, despite it being a van and not a ute simply because of its rarity and being a TH400 example.
