Hj sandman

[Blocker]

A quick search on the forums for the chassis or body number showed nothing, so nobody has put that info on the forums.

It can be easier to find a needle in a haystack of haystacks than an old Sandman you once had, but you can only ask.. right?!?

HK1837 may have those details on record, but he does not keep a record of the location of any cars, your best bet is to do what some have done and buy one for the memories


If you are happy to share the information would you mind emailing the paperwork (I would blank out personal info) so I can share it on the website?

Hi All , and thank you for the kind welcomes , HK you are right my eye sight tis not what it was , it was L32 and the Tag no . is H 888912 and there appears to be an astrix or some thing after the last digit , the paper tis getting old and is only the yellow copy of the original but I know that back some where at my mothers house the rest is still there , I was at the time at Burnie Tasmania , I ordered the car , when it was delivered , I did my own predelivery on it , nothing on it was dealership fitted , my father was the foreman of the paint shop and he applied the side and tailgate stripes and the small Sandman decal behind both doors , it also had chrome like Caprice scuff plates inside the doors again never ordered or asked for like the dwell wipers . Blocker I do not mind sharing any thing and am not hiding but at the moment I wouldn't have the foggiest as to how to give you pictures that I have and am happy to share all the documentation with all you guys . Yes Hk they called it a Belmont ... the base van in truth it had more than any other sandman that I ever worked on ... funny that . Blocker you say look for another one , well ive done that as well and I want an HJ pre ADR27 , everyone I have seen is so so obviously fake , I worked on them and I know what they were and are , ie HJ did not have a silver facia dash , they didn't have headlight controls on the coloum , excuse my spelling I am a mechanic not a poet , but you get my drift , young fellows seem to call any Holden van a Sandman and we both know that's not true , now I don't mind the word replica if indeed it is replicating exactly what it is meant to be a replica of .
Sorry to be a pain , and I will try to get both my old vans info and paper work to you , Cheers Garry .
