I am pretty sure that red van is actually Firethorn red and not the Madeira red like Rod and Jennie's, only reason I know my first car (LC Torana) was painted in Firethorn.

i think both these vans maybe 'firethorn red' one with new duco & the other a original duco

Jennie and Rod's is definitely Madeira red, Firethorn/Spanish Red wasn't available until 11/78 and it is a 5/78.

That van of Rod and Jennies is of great interest to me, it is possibly the last Pagewood Sandman. Pagewood appears to have stopped ute and van construction mid 6/78 and I only have 2 x 1978 plated HZ Pagewood Sandmans recorded in total yet I have 9 x recorded between August and December 1977. I intend one day to look at all vans produced after Rod and Jennies and before the last one was built mid 6/78 and see how many could possible have been Sandmans. I'd be surprised if there were any, and if there are it'll be bugger all.
