V series 'Sandman'

[SMQQTH]

I didn't say any such thing!

Holden never called the vehicle a Sandman, the accessory is called a Sandman and it isn't built by Holden.

Looks to me you did call the canopy and its associated bits Sandman!

As for Holden not building them... take a look at most of the parts that make up a Holden. A hell of a lot are subcontracted out. HBD may not be directly under the GMH logo but sure as hell HBD would have to work in conjunction with Holden and Holden would be giving the finial approval. Not to mention Holden would have to let the Sandman name be used on any product related to a Holden motor car.

Please HK1837 read the HBD sales brochure... it also says "rest assured with a 'Sandman' canopy, now you can add the convenience of a Holden approved and warranted canopy for you new ute."

Still stand by my words. If you have a HBD canopy fitted to your Holden ute, you have a Sandman!
