    There are a lot more indicators if you know what you are looking for... Sienna is another unique Sandman trim. Later HZ xx7 has a 2000kg gvm, also unique to Sandman.

    Rodney and Jennie's HZ van was painted Absinth yellow, had black trim and a 308 auto in it. It is a Jasmine Yellow van with Tan trim and L32 M20 on the tags, early HZ so 1950kg gvm. We did some digging around the sills, doors etc and found black paint in those areas.... Further digging showed Jasmine yellow paint under the black so we were down to the original paint with blackouts painted over it... Rod took photos of this as proof it is a Sandman.

    no point system really works, it is a matter of going over the car with a fine tooth comb and getting as much evidence of a Sandman as possible and documenting that evidence. Unfortunately in your case, the different coloured quad headlight front and different coloured glovebox lid with Statesman placard hinders more than helps.

    What if the vehicle identification certificate in the owner logbook has written 'Sandman Panel Van' but all the other information you have makes it a could be.

    ??????? Huh, what are you asking? Is it a Sandman? Unless the model is 8WN70 and the dealer has pulled a swifty then I'd say it's a Sandman.

    Hand written? Means very little without supporting documents. Could be done after the fact. Or the dealer (like a lot of people) called Panel Vans with options "Sandman's".
