Is my hj a sandman?

Hi L31,

The colour is the easy one. Chamois 1887/1402 15950. Mr Jones has an extensive library and examples online.

The interior code of 64V and the V stands for vinyl.

On whether it is a Sandman PanelVan the tag details look to be consistant but if it is a Brisbane Acacia Ridge build it should have XX7 or XU3 stamped the passanger side body plate. By missing plackard I assume you mean the tyre one in the glovebox and thats not suprising after all these years. The GVW of 2200 might not be a factor here as the HJ's didnt start derating until the end model run I think.

If you post a picture of some of the body indicators I'm sure Byron could help you in answer if the shell is origional. The console mounts welded on the floor, the GTS components and associated GTS dash wiring harness etc. In particilar, HJ Sandman Panalvans rear compartments had roof lining attachments that are slightly different to the HX/Z ones. There was no corresponding Kingswood PanelVan in the HJ range so these would be installed on the origional Sandman shell. BTW check the chassis matches as this is used to identify the vehical at rego not the plates.

Some pictures would assist in this process.
