    So What does these numbers mean then:
    Trim: 1914-60A
    Paint: 568-17778
    Thanks Heaps.
    1914 is Holdens exterior trim code for Aquarius colour.

    568 is the Dulon code for solid colour.... IE not metallic.

    60A is Chamois trim and was available in all HX commercials so does not in itself confirm Sandman status....

    The plate info basically is correct for a Sandman but you need to check it has courtesy light switches in the door jambs, full headlining etc.....

    HX are a bugger to identify, as things that helped in HQ and HJ don't necessarily help in HX.

    Your best identifiers will be the full length headlining attachment bits and an N66 wheel winch. Unfortunately a console and courtesy light switches don't help that much in HX as they were available on base model, but the headlining was extremely unlikely on a non-Sandman base model. Having a 1950kg GVW helps heaps too. I'd be 97% confident it is a Sandman.

    N66 is the option code for GTS rims, and the winch is different. GTS rims were standard fitment to most Sandmans (late HZ got alloy N67 also used on HZ SL/E and WB), and as such it is a telltale in identifying.

    Unless your Sandman has been fittind with gas at some time and the winch was removed to fit the tank as in the case of my HX Sandman..... fortunately mine has 18V trim...

    yeah unfortunatly it has been fitted with gas, is there any difficulty in fitting the winchs? and how hard is it to get complete centre consoles for a chamois interior?

    True, but that goes without saying as it applies to most Sandman telltales!
