19v on HX or HZ says no it is not a Sandman just an optioned up base model or modified over the years. He will need to check for other Sandman identifiers to see if the 19v is a mis-stamp for the trim code.

Does it have a full headlining and what colour?
Does it have courtesy light switches for the doors?
Does it have a console without the ashtray in the rear?
Does it have chrome door scuff plates?
Does it have chrome tail light surrounds?

Is the trim actually black or slate black? The console was black on Sandman's with the padded armrest being slate black, should be a noticeable difference between them. The door trim was slate black but the armrests were black so again should be noticeably different. Seats were slate black and hood lining was black. Dash crash-pad, glove-box lid etc. was black.

Early HZ paint availability chart indicates that metallic paint was optional on all commercial models so being metallic paint is of no help.

Whatever is found on it, 19v is a non Sandman trim so will always devalue the car as it won't be accepted as a genuine Sandman.


Wayne, what model is your car??? HJ or HX. 19v trim code on HQ and HJ can be Sandman. Full details of your car are needed to identify a Sandman.
