Hmmm. Could easily be one, and if it is it is an XU3 which are not that common in HJ. I have a heap recorded around it, one with a BODY number of 194317 and another with a PSN of H891954. Both are a long way away in chassis number but none of that is unusual for Pagewood, especially foreign bodies vehicles like the vans were. As playwme says, get some picturs of the headlining attachnent strips along the inside of the drip rails and the one at the rear above the tailgate. Plus the console mounts on the floor, with no carpet if you can. Inner door pillars are no use on a HJ though.

Good Sandman if it is, Papaya with black trim. If you do wreck it and don't sell the body with tags and it turns out to be a Sandman let me know, i'd love those tags for my ID plate collection and also for research purposes. I want to put photos in the book of really desirable Sandman tags in the ID plate section, and a HJ XU3 van in Papaya with black trim and L32 M21 driveline is a pretty cool one to put there. I think I have 4 or 5 sets of HJ L31 van tags but they are all boring colours. Funny that I have heaps of HQ and HJ, a few HX but no HZ tags!
