She still comes up well in photos. It's been a good van, the paint must be all but 20 years old now, and it's been used so it isn't a show car! I've just kept it tidy around the edges and used it.

Awesome photo. Makes me a bit more excited to see my Sandman finished. I've always wanted a Deauville Blue HJ but have ended up with a Mandarin Red HJ. Looks like you've had some good times in it!Cheers for the replies guys, I've been lurking for a bit so thought I should post a few pics of the van.
I've done plenty of miles since those pics were taken, I drove it everyday for a few years when it lived outside, these days it has a dry home in the shed and just gets out for weekend use, mainly for camping trips where it sees plenty of unsealed and dirt roads.
That creek crossing shot is one of my faves. Here's the full size pic.
Great stuff HX will see you in the Brisbane one day maybe, good pic'c, looks like you have had good times in the Sandman...
We have the ute version hx mandarin red. I feel as though I have seen the pic before going through the water

Really good stuff, great to see them being used.Your van is a credit to you. Many year's ago when I had my ute it spent a lot of time on unsealed road's, was in it's element.
Cheers.

"Proud To Be An Old Fart".
A great survivor that gets used!
Congratulations on actually using your van and not treating it like a Ferrari.
I went looking for a good fishing spot today with a mate in my van and we went up one of the local dirt roads, tailgate open and dust flying everywhere.
I thought for a moment....."What am I doing????!!!! This will take hours to clean"
And as if on cue, my mate said "Man, this is FUN, I wish I had a van like this."
That's what I was doing..... having FUN. Carwash is cheap.
Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!
