Hi,
From what i have read on this terrific site i am fairly sure the van i recently purchased is a Sandman. The person i bought it off said that the guy he bought it off 20 years ago told him it was a Sandman but he wasnt sure. Its basically sat in a shed for over 20 years, yet it started up and idled perfectly after i changed the fuel line that was all perished and freed up the points.
The plate says: Model. HZ8W M 70, Body. 399621-A, Trim. 1930-18V, Paint. 568-30521, Eng. L32, Trans. M20, RRaxle. GV7.
Other plate says, among other things, GVW 2000 kg, Seating cap 2.
Another plate (3rd plate) says 8M70RHH941548Z
It has a full roof lining and those curtesy lights at your feet on both sides.
In the glovebox the tyre placard sticker says 994686.
I bought it not knowing if it is a Sandman or not but it didnt really bother me as it is very straight and has no rust, although needs a new paint job and a huge vacuume where the cats have made it there home for many years, and it was cheap.
I also have the original sales documents and book from when the original owner bought it in Sydney and they confirm the same thing as the tags with the 18v trim etc typed on those documents.
Phil
