It certainly has that look about it! Interesting mistake on the plate...
Nunc est bibendum...
Its a 2 it just needs a good clean up Imho. I have come to the conclusion that allot of the number 2 stamped on compliance tags, especially Melbourne stamped, have the tails wrap around so far, that they could be confused as a 3. But to have a 3 seater re-stamped to a 2 the 3 would have to be cocked on an angle to begin with that is pretty unlikely.This all came about after the hq ute I looked at, I had been told that it was a 3 re-stamped but after trying to line a 2 up over the top of a three on my computer and keep it vertical is near impossible. I then got the tags off another Melb built hq sandman ute the other week and it still had the tags attached to the body with the large rivets with putty in the center all orig and the 3 looked exactly the same, could be mistaken for a 2 if you stared at it long enough. Dont know what the moral of this story is I just thought I would share what I found. I would be happy to put the tags up if anyone wants to check it out for themselves.
Looks like an upside down three to me, doesn't look the same as the 2 in the 2000 gvm.

Hope someone saves it, regardless of what it is....
Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!
It is up to $1500 and the "reserve not met" has been passed so looks like it's selling and hopefully brought back to life. But I have known of people bidding up to find the "reserve" price and then later on withdrawing the bid.

Hi Byron just a quick question, the paint number on the plate is 568-30519. 568 means a non metallic and persian sand MK ii is a metallic. Also 30519 is Madeira. Is this right or did I get it wrong?
That is because it is Madeira Red, and aperfect example of why one shouldn't jump to conclusions (the tag photos were not there when I first saw the auction)!
The seating capacity is a 2, not an upside down 3. It is how they are.
