What's the rarer colour from these 3

[RodneyHZ253]

Is jasmine yellow the most common hz sandman colour

[HK1837]

No, not by a long shot in what I have recorded. I only have 9 Sandmans in Jasmine, and 4 x non-Sandman.

The most common I have are Flamenco Red (14 plus a non-Sandman van), Palais White (14 plus 4 x non-Sandman) and Atlantis blue (21 Sandmans). Valencia Orange was only available until the end of July 1978 yet I have 11 of those. I also have 11 Windsor blue (plus a Kingswood ute too) and 11 Caribbean Turquoise (plus a Kingswood van). The rest are all single digit, some colours I haven't even got one recorded!

ALL Sandman colours, Absinth Yellow is probably the most common recorded of the lot, I have 52 plus 9 non-Sandmans. This would be followed by Mandarin Red with 36 and 4 x non Sandman. Deauville Blue with 28 plus 2 non-Sandman. Cotillion White with 22 Sandmans plus 11 non-Sandmans. There are a couple amongst those counted here as Sandmans which have ? next to them, so possibly subtract 1-3 off these overall colours and add 1-3 to the non-Sandmans.

If I have been sent ID for them they will be in the database. I don't record who owns the cars for privacy reasons (in case it ever gets hacked or stolen). I do remember some cars simply by what they are (like your Pagewood HZ) and Greg's old yellow HQ but those are only recognised by my memory, nothing in the datasbase.

I was hoping for a darker colour then Ultra Blue, as the chrome doesn't stand out as much on the lighter coloured car.

Go black Agro - what is it they say about that

[agr071]

Well what they say is...................................
It may seem like i'm fussy, but i'd like to be able to drive the van in Summer without it being a sweat box.

Hey Agro, you mentioned correct stripes for your chosen colour. Something I noticed a while ago is that the DY6 example on the decal page is way off being correct. It should be same as DX5 but the outside colours reversed.

Oh OK.
Mine has the 3 blue's on the SANDMAN sticker on the tailgate now.
