Never seen a maloo "sandman" Gumtree

[Innuendo]

Nice unit, $93000 new though, wow.

It wasn't ever ordered this way new. So the 93K must be his build cost (or claim).

I just got a reply from HSV. They did get a HBD and a HSV plate but they didn't use the Sandman name. Here is the reply in red:

Hi Byron,

Yes, HBD did fit a few Maloos with canopies. They were never marketed as Sandmans though. As with all HBD product a build plate was fitted so HSV vehicles had two plates. This happened in many instances such as sunroofs etc.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Just goes to show Holden, Holden By Design, Holden Special Vehicles Individual and Holden Special Vehicles are all pretty much the same thing set up differently.
HBD are the ones who named the conversion as the Sandman canopy in the advertising. But as we know never did they market them as Sandmans per se.

Whatever the case they tickle my fancy. Still not a huge fan of HSV styling though!
