    If it is a Sandman the MODEL is easy, it is a HOLDEN (or Belmont if it is a modified HQ). You couldn't get a Kingswood Sandman van. So MODEL is M70 (or in HQ: 0170 or 0270).

    The Question you want is what SERIES is it?

    If it is factory original or factory authetic then it is obviously HX or HZ by the tail-light surrounds and mirrors. Dead giveaway is the lack of an RTS badge on the tailgate, and I can't quite see a chin spoiler on it. It does appear to have a Kingswood front bar on it so it isn't dead stock original. So all that adds up to is a HX with Kingswood front bar.

    Yup, it was that obvious. I've seen HQ-HZ repaired using WB quarters before though!

    I did actually get the question right - ie what MODEL is it! And I did qualify with "if it is original". Obviously far from original!

    Great poll twotees . It's would have been interesting to see how many people know their Sandamans . Shame it was spoiled with only a few votes .Least my vote counted :happy:
