    Adelaide built 253 Absinth yellow with black trim. Sounds like it could be but you need to check other identifiers, does it have a full headlining? Does it have GTS guards, dash ect? Does it have a centre console or the brackets for one?

    Has gts gaurds. And strips for full headlining which looks original. Dash has been removed so unable to tell. Didnt look for console brackets as wasnt aware at the time this was a identifier. Whats the deal with the gvm being the month it is made makes it hard to determain? Thanks for the info by the way.

    GVW on Sandman was derated to 1950kg from around 7/75 onwards so yours being a 10/75 it is either just a optioned up base model or a fairly rare XU3 Sandman with a 2200kg rating.

    full headlining and original console mounts pretty much seals it in HJ.... More so than in a HX/HZ

    So with both the full hoodlining and console mounts pretty much says it is? What about one and not the other? Sorry about all the questions. Would just like to be certain before before handing over money.

    No console mounts.... Not a Sandman... But check for evidence they may have been cut or ground off. Full headlining was an optional extra on HJ from memory as part of the comfort pack but quite rare to find on a van that isn't a Sandman.
