I know its not really a Sandman (or a Panelvan)...

Very nice i like the VY VZ style, are these new ones as good as the Holden by Design ones, is there rear tail gate still plastic, one killer for me was that

Good onya

These are made by the same company that Holden outsourced the HDB ones too. They also made the concept Mambo canopy and also make the new divvy van ones too.
Can't fault it at all, even the inside is carpet lined. Think they offer a 3 year warranty on it too.

As for the ute part, they come with a plastic tub liner as standard these days and the tailgate has it installed too.
Have heard another guy got one of these fully carpeted (over the top of the tub) for around $600 and it looks the bomb.

I'm going to have rear speakers put in too and connected to the IQ head unit also.

They look really good to me, there are a couple getting around here in the VZ model.

The VEs should start trickling thru soon. Mine is number 52 in the VE shape and I believe there are approx 400ish VU-VZs around the country.
(Most being in VIC as they are made here and they cant find anyone in other states to do the installs for them) They are permanently bonded on.

Holden needs to remake the van, none of this bolt on type stuff, a full metal bodied van, the ability to climb through to the through to the back...the whole shebang

I agree!

I recently bought a VE2 Thunder ute for work. I fitted the ARB canaopy as I need one with side windows as I really do work out of it. I looked at the above canopy but it was not practical for work, but when I retire the car in a couple of years, I might put one on and sell the ARB.

When I bought the Thunder, it got me wondering why they just don't call it a Sandman, like after all it is an optioned up Omega.

I've actually bought a domain and will develop a website over the next couple of months for these 'Millennium Vans'
Will post more details once i have some content and am ready to launch it!

I think it will be a good place for us pretend PV owners to catch up and compare notes etc as we are not quite PVs and not quite utes.

You can make this place your home, it's more about the community than the vehicle.
Just ask and I can set up a whole new section for you
