Would have to be one of the best HZ Sandmans available. Is genuine in all aspects.

This is an Atlantis Blue one owner HZ Sandman that has been with the one owner since purchase in September 1978. This is totally original with an untouched 308. 180k on the clock. The van was repainted 3 years ago in original colour but two pack finish and is in immaculate condition no rust dents or bingles. This van has been garaged all its life. It was purchased without decals and has never had them applied. Original rims and centres with square edged chrome GM trims. The inside rear has been carpeted since new. The only other mods are premier sill chrome trims and chrome wheel arch trims. It is time for this beauty to go. The condition of this Sandman is totally original in all aspects and I would regard it as museum quality. This is not going to be a cheap buy. if you are in the market for an iconic example of Australian motoring history - this is the van for you. It will only increase in value.

Nice van, Statesman/Premier side moulds are easily removed. Nice and subtle with no stripes. What plant is it from? If it had been an auto I'd be real tempted!

Getting old Byron? :lol:

[HK1837]

Yes!
But 308 TH400 DL7 is the go for me. HJ is my pick, preferably Kingswood ute, in white or silver mist. I'd take a van too. Atlantis blue is very nice though, but my pick of HZ colours is probably white or ultra blue.

Wow you are picky Byron...lol. You are correct, they are a dealer fitted accessory. However, when you are 23 yrs old and buying a new Sandman ute off the floor, the salesman asked, what option's if any would I like to have fitted? I only needed mudflap's,so that's why I classed them as option's.

Cheer's.

308 auto Sandmans were available, I have a few recorded. A lot of the series 1 Overlanders were genuine HX L31 M41 Sandmans probably as this was the easiest way to get a 308 ute or van. HZ L31 M41 are also rare but were available.

Being a 1978 van it would actually be 99.9% sure to be Brisbane or Adelaide assembly.

Robbo, mudflaps were an option you could actually choose and they would be dealer fitted unless XW5 (outback equipment package) was ordered where they were factory fitted. However I don't have any info that shows you could actually option the sill moulds, so these if these are on a car from new they'd have to be a dealer fitted accessory. Not sure if the wheelarch moulds fit the same category.
