V6HQUte finds a ute.

[the ski man]

sounds just a little promising, but its the finer details that matter.

[playwme]

Being a dull creamy colour isn't likely to help too much, but without numbers it's hard to tell.

[V6HQUTE]

so there is a chance and definatly worth going for a look, i will definatly get some numbers next

thanks mate, i would like to run some info past you guys ive taken in from off here to help me identify it if thats allright and make sure its right, firstly is a xu4 still worth getting?
its a ute so its model should be 8wm80, n is not, has to be m, stamped 2 seater, and possibly xx7
xu3 has gvm 2200kg or lessm xx7 has 1950kg or less
what else is good to look for its basicly a shell and chsssie, how to i tell if its original chassie, and if the plates are a matching set

Every Hq-Hz is worth a look

Get all the details off all 3 tags, and get the chassis number as well. That'll be a start, if the original glovebox is there, get the tyre placard number (bottom right hand corner of the tyre placard sticker) confirm it is original as best you can.
Look for signs of blackouts, and possibly decals if they have been removed check inside door hinges etc.

The more photos you can take of identifying features, and the plates the better.

Good luck

The chassis number will match the number on the ADR plate.
If it's marked as a 3 seater then it's not a Sandman. However we've got one plate recorded on here that was stamped 3 seat capacity then stamped again as 2... BUT that plate was also stamped XX7. We call it the Monday am shift Sandman!
