Well I have been waiting to read all these posts, and decided I would share this story....we were on our second honeymooon this time last year and did a road trip to Forster where we had our original honeymoon 26 years ago....anyway on our way home we stopped at Denman which is now pretty much a mining town, but was a wine makers town...we stayed at a caravan park, and slept in the back of the van...had tea out at the local pub, when we walked over to the van to go home, an old mate pounced on us and said" so you are the owners of this sandman, it is awesome, been waiting for you to come back and wanted to talk to you about it"...."where did you get it, is it an original, its very well restored" and the whole bit.....of course he also said "how much do you want for it", I piped up and said "$85K and that really doesn't cover all the work Rodney has put in to it"...thinking that would scare him off as we have no intention of ever selling yellow van, others could be negotiated, but not the yellow van...he looked at me and said "that doesn't phase me"...so I back peddled and said "well really its not for sale"...so after a lot of discussion and promises if we ever come across another yellow van which was well restored he would like to purchase it...so whether he was on the up and up, I don't know but he seemed to not be bothered and would pay $85K if we had have wanted to....oh and btw, he was a miner so had the money am guessing
