Very true to all the comments. I bought mine because it was something I always wanted. Apart from a LX SLR. But they were and still are over priced. Always have known that after my sandman was done it would be near impossible to sell for it cost. But never bought it for that, the driving experience and pleasure I get out of it means I will keep it for some time to come. And too true it seems that ever dick is an expert on Sandman's. I was told it was a mock up because it didn't have flutes in the guards." They all did".What a dick! Long live the passion.!!!!
