There is no such thing as a HZ 6cyl Sandman. There is no such thing as a Sandman with bench seat. Yes, a dealer could change it out for you if that is what you wanted, however it left the assembly plant with buckets. This is indisputable. I have seen one Acacia Ridge plated vehicle with XX7 on the BODY tag and a 3 seat capacity, however this is an obvious mistake or plates on the car did not originate on the same vehicle. I'm almost certain that particular example has mismatching plates. Being built in Brisbane has little relevance, option code is only one of many ways to pick a Sandman.

I have come across a lot of supposed one owner Sandmans that were anything but. Normally they were optioned up BO6 or Kinsgswoods that a dealer had put Sandman stripes onto and sold as a Sandman to unknowing owners.
