Yes it is a genuine Sandman, the 18v trim code confirms it. 1950gvw is XX7 Sandman option.

Adelaide build 308 4sp in palais white with slate black vinyl trim. Nice..... and it looks to be in fairly original condition also.

Thanks for that.The main repair it needs is the drivers back quarter has a real big ding.i'll put the pic up......what do you reckon it'd be worth with the ding?just asking so i know if i'm getting it cheap or not.cheers

Hard to tell what it's worth without pictures of the whole car but a windowless HZ Palais white 308 4sp with black trim is a fairly desirable and looking to be mostly original with most the hard to get bits it would probably go on Ebay for between $6000 to $8000..... a couple of bidders really wanting it and it could go higher.

It is a confirmed Sandman so more valuable than those without proof of Sandman heritage.
