    Looks like probably a rare 11/76 Papaya HX Sandman van BODY + VIN tags and chassis number (all match up). The ADR plate isn't the right one though, although all info needed is known so the mob that redoes them could conceivably make one for it. Or just build it up as a van and leave the ADR tag off. Also pretty rare in HX to have a 3.36 diff behind a 253 and 4spd. Normally they are 3.55.

    I'm sure there could be others interested on here.

    No pics, but there will be a picture of it in the book. It's as good as my Premier in condition and about the same kM but it does have some minor mods (eg sunroof), no major drama reversing them but it is in factory paint which leaves you in two minds.

    That's an interesting angle I didn't think of. You just get so used to thinking of the plates as a set, that's the way my 'spares' are stored.

    Hi Byron, Was wondering why Papaya was such a rare colour for a HX Van?
