HQ Orchid Van

[78 sin bin]

That's my Van - The infamous stamped 3 seater XX7 Brisbane model. Trim code ends in B which I'm pretty sure means bucket, so it is almost certainly a mistake of GMH - either that or i've got a rare 3 seater sandman. Original 253 rebuilt, although was originally Burgundy (Yuk) Orchard was my favourite colour and the chances of getting hold of one were zero to none, so I went for the non original colour. Indicator lenses should be orange and the hounds tooth seat insert aren't original but totally suits the layout. Will get around to putting on the stripes one day, body still not perfect yet as I'm a fussy bugger.Pics were from the HQ run in Brisbane. Pics look great -Travis
