    More Sandman myths

    Guys/Gals

    Got contacted today by a potential Sandman buyer. Someone told him the way to pick a Sandman is by the space between the digits on the MODEL code on the BODY plate eg HX8W_M_70. If you hear this BS being sprouted make sure you shout it down, as the last thing we want is more BS myths surfacing and getting traction.

    I've heard it said that Sandman's only come in Yellow and another one that Sandmans were only HX or HZ

    Myths about HK-HG GTS have been around for years, and have taken great work by guys like Ben Stewart to remove them from folklore. Example, HK V8 was auto only.

    I'd hate to see this garbage to start springing up about Sandmans. There is a bit out there though, like the ultra rare bench seat Sandman. And the WB Sandman.
