Help - is my HX Panelvan a Sandman

[maxsandman]

I spoke to GMH customer assistance 1800 number a year or so ago, with details of a van I have, & when he heard the 8WM70 code he said "are you checking if its a sandman?" sarcastically like he spends all day doing this. When I got the report back, it said stuff all, I don't think it even confirmed completion date or original engine number, which is what I was after.

cheers

GMH do not know how to use their own info. sadly.

Ben can confirm the engine number. Or with mine. I gave it a test. I knew the engine number and a few other things about my HZ GTS. I showed him the body and adr tag only. In return I got a report. Showing all info including the engine number I have for the GTS. I have never publisahed this anywhere. I was also told the place of original sale. date of sale etc etc. all line up to what the old bloke I brought it from told me. None of this was common knowledge. I had never put it on the net either some of this info.

As said. Ben knows his stuff. His reputation shows it.

They will still not be able to identify anything that has no unique codes like HJ Kingswood Sandman ute I guess, as Byron can't often confirm them.
I imagine that's why he was always after any tag information so they could at least estimate if hard to identify cars are anything special.

I am not sure if this is 100% the case. Ben maybe able to confirm it still... Depending on what records are available. For my cert I even have shown how many days delay from expected delivery to when it was delivered was recorded.
