Slate black trim (18V) on a HX Holden van (WM70) means Sandman as long as the van has an Australian Compliance plate (ADR plate). Put up the rest of the ID plate details and i'll tell you if they all belong together.

Yep, she's a xx7 Sandman.

Yes when Absinth says it is an XX7 don't go looking for the XX7 stamped on the ID plate. Some people think XX7 has to be stamped on the plate for it to be a Sandman.

XX7 is the production code number given to Sandman panel vans and only Acacia Ridge built vans had XX7 stamped on the ID plate.

Don't forget XU3 Blocker. XU3 is the "normal" or "traditional" Sandman once there was a tyre choice.
