An example would have been produced when I ordered a metallic 308 van with all the goodies in late 1973 but it wasn't delivered until May 1974 (seven months to build - which is why I gave up and took a Sandman when it came into the dealers as a stock order). HK1837 is correct - HQ Sandman vehicles were not easy to get. Everyone I knew of in 1974 bought them off the floor. Those who ordered a 308 Sandman usually didn't get them until the HJ was released up here in Brisbane.
