    Thanks, glad you like it. The original colour seems to have been a 'one-off' colour, so perhaps a fleet colour or something. It has been very difficult to confirm.

    My son likes green, so we are thinking we'll go with an original HQ/Sandman green that would have been around in 1973....

    We have been looking at both the Sandman colours, and the standard HQ colours around that time period. My son likes the darker green than the barbados green, but we are still deciding...

    Go Barbados..! I'm not allowed to paint my tonner that colour so someone should..! :P
    Kidding, Montrey Green is pretty cool too. Not very common.

    I know it's a wagon, but looks sweet as.
