V series 'Sandman'

[Vombil]

hhha yeah mate there is a thread on here about sandman myths... plenty of donkeys think all windowless vans are sandmans

Without wanting to extend this debate much further . . the official Holden Web site has a link to concept cars on which they claim the original Mambo "van" to be a "one off Sandman Van". On the one hand I rather agree that it is a ute with a canopy but GMH obviously thinks otherwise. In any case a one off is a one off. Not sure what that makes the others?

i dont really care what people wanna call it...i love it!! i can also say i get stopped alot and asked alot of questions about my new van. in my van 'cecielle' the rear glass was removed from factory and a archway installed so there is access to the rear and its badged from holden by design with a build number. its a beautiful fit, professionally finished off in the rear, with rear demisters and light which operates when you open the tailgate. i love my hz replica just for the sound of the old 5 litre and the solid feel of it but i also love my new van with the comfort and factory performance it produces. so call it what you will i dont care, i'm just happy cruising!! jah bless

well said ,i was also thinking of selling my HJ sandman and VE calais and buying one to use as a daily drive ,at least then i will be back in a van instead of having one sitting under a cover going nowhere
