Not wrong there!!! Why would you change GTS mirrors for base model ones?

Welcome Dude. Your right, it's a sandman. 18v is slate interior (Black) my favorite. That makes it a Sandman or a GTS HZ.Doesn't look like a GTS so it must be a Sandman.

Frosty.... No such thing as a GTS panelvan or ute mate.... Vans and utes were Sandman or nothing.... Sedans were GTS.

Dunno, but they look like remote adjustable mirrors to me?

looks like a standard mirror on the passenger side to me..... Your good if you can see a remote mirror on the drivers side which is the only side remote mirrors were available for.

Will,
Great looking van though, see if you can get hold of some old Van Wheels or Custom vans and trucks magazines for ideas on decking out the rear. It's your van, deck it out to suit your taste....

Hence the reason I asked the question looking at the left hand mirror. That left hand mirror looks different to a standard Kingswood mirror (especially the mount) and I cannot see the RH one. Pretty simple question really, that is all it was.

Just to settle this one guys when i got the car....there was no side mirror at all. Made merging interesting, that's about it.

If it was modified a while ago then it follows the trend of building a custom van.

You bought a van (sometimes it may have been a Sandman), then went straight home or to a mates place and started changing things to personalize it. Nobody wanted a stock standard Sandman, they all wanted to have a something that was built to their taste. I'm actually surprised that so many have survived in some form of standard trim. The Statesman front on Wills van was almost a required mod. And black vinyl seats? Every motor trimmer in the country was flat-out doing cloth inserts. And absolutely nobody kept the standard wheels. Mags went straight on and the standard wheels turned into hose reels.

Cool custom van, I like it.
