The HX being a 1950kg GVW HZ 308 4spd bucket seat van with door switches and full length headlining in Tuxedo black with chamois/covert trim (wow on the trim line) i'd be surprised if it wasn't a Sandman. I've recorded it as one. Can you PM me the chassis number? Nice to see another Tuxedo black one, that is 12 of them recorded now.

As the engine number is gone from the HX it doesn't mean much if it is the original one or not, you'll have to regard this one as not a matching numbers car. If you want to improve it find an NT prefix block, any cast date from 1971 to 1980 will do.

HZ engine number looks about right, if you are lucky it may be on GMH's build records still. These cease in the middle of 7/78 so it depends upon when in 7/78 yours was built. I have the HZ already recorded.
