help to Identify this ute please

what is an xu4 ?

I wanted to clarify IF this is a sandman but could not. all points to could be and Holden has advised me they cannot Authenticate Sandmans ?

Xu4 is a non-sandman pack fitted with the passenger tyres.
Being Absinth Yellow with Black trim definitely helps the case. It's one of the hero colours likely to be picked for a Sandman. It will probably come down to what original evidence is left on the body.

it had correct tyre placardmi am sure and has GTS dash, GTS guards, GTS wheels, Courtesy lights on lower under dash panel.
GTS steering wheel with Sandman Emblem.

I don't know what else to check, Holden has advised they Will Not authenticate sandmans, Where do I go from here.

I am actually selly the vehicle and believe it to be a sandman but want to clarify.

It is more than likely a Sandman but without more proof it is not confirmed.
It shouldn't have a Sandman emblem in the GTS steering wheel. This was not an option on HJ.

Photos of the console mounts? Proof of black-outs or evidence of stripes?

yeah I had read the emblem only came in HQ but it is an early HJ so wasn't sure if it had been ordered as old new stock ?? maybe got down the track. what is the difference with the consol mounts. it has had a 5 speed celica box fitted

First things first, does it have the correct chassis.

[ute87]

ok mate how do I tell that ?

Nowhere. Advertise it as "Believed to be a Sandman" and let the buyer run their own checks to satisfy themselves.

Put up the chassis number and all the tags. No one would even start to identify it from one tag.
