    Bugger, it's a Dandenong built van meaning Elizabeth BODY tag. I can tell you everything bar the BODY number, assuming that it was M20 GV7. Trim looks to be 67V. I reckon who had it before you has taken the plate off as they though it didn't match the other tags. Chase them up, they may still have it, once they know it was correct!
    Original BODY number will be around 203500-204000.

    Oh poo. Oh well, nah the guy doesn't have the plate, he apparently said it use to be on their but when we picked it up it must have fallen off. Im hoping I'll randomly find it somewhere in the car but its highly unlikely
    So how else could I tell if its a Sandman? I have the switch on the door for interior light, GTS dash, full head lining, we think its deaville blue, seat cap of 2 and weight is 1860kg and it has a 202. Anything else I have missed to look out for?

    I'd be surprised if it isn't. Headlining and GVW just about nails it. Pretty rare thing too, being a 6cyl Sandman.
