Could this be a HZ Sandman?

[Absinth]

Top one is what I'd expect to see on an XU3. I don't know what the bottom one is doing with those other tyres on it, the 195SR14 are the base textile radial tyre for a 6cyl commercial. 185SR14 are not available on a ute or van. Jason (Stickthis) may be able to elaborate.

bottom one is a Rare Spares repro.... They can't research what they are having for dinner let alone what belong to what model!!!!!

their HJ one is totally different to my original HJ one.... Theirs is in MPH and mine is in KPH.... Same part number though.

So what you are saying is that if it doesn’t have 18v it is not a sandman.

NO..... What I am saying is if it didn't have an 18v trim code I would have overlooked it as being a Sandman because almost nothing on the van was original. Just because it had a full headlining and courtesy lights, 2 seater and derated gvm doesn't mean it was a Sandman and does not prove it was. If I am going to spend $30,000 plus restoring a car I want as much proof it is Sandman as I can get. 18V trim code is unique to Sandman on a 8WM HX and HZ so it was the absolute proof that it was a Sandman.

in all likelihood your van is probably a Sandman but nothing you have given so far proves that it is one. I am just trying to help you find proof as others on here are doing.

The colour on the EBay lid looks correct.
