    Newbee

    Hi Guys and gals, My name is Nick and new to the site but not to cars or Sandman vans.
    What started me to the love of cars was my brothers brand new HQ Sandman.
    Here are some details.
    Purchased new in 74 at Sturgess Hall in Auburn, I think the price was $4300.00
    Yellow 308 4 speed and 4 windows. Car come complete with matching yellow curtins, yellow carpeted matress with black edging and carpet on the wheel arches, side walls and tailgate. I assume this was a dealer set up.
    unfortunatly he sold it in the 80s.

    See if you can find old rego papers for the ban with engine or chassis number and i'll see if it still exists (I may have it recorded).

    Thanks Gene. I dont think any of the paperwork survived. The only thing I remember is the rego number. Mum may have a few old photos and I asked to to see if she could find some but not sure if she has had a look.
