Max, Byron is the man when it comes to Sandman's and has a personal database from years of collecting and owners supplying tag details......

I've never seen a 1925 (MkII) until HX, HJ info I have also has HJ as 1900. The colour chart revision for HJ that was released in 3/76 didn't see the application of those colours until around 5/76 anyway, and this van is a 3/76. I also think there is a major error on this colour chart (A627) too. I'll save that for the book though!

did you get my pm Byron?

Yes, just did. That number lines up fine with the rest of the ID. Should be a nice van when completed

I wouldn't be surprised as Statesman used a diffeent colour chart to Holden, Torana & Gemini.

Does anyone here have any good picture of the correct interior this van should have from factory?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

This is about the best I can do for you... this is a Persian Sand 8WM80 with 64V trim. It is a 74 model so has a Tan steering column... yours being a 11-75 should have a black column. Basically you should have a Tan dashpad and glovebox .....with seats, console, door trims and headlining being Gazelle.

I am still trying to find out what colour the carpet should be as the HJ parts catalogue states Black for 8WM but I have seen a few Sandys with coloured carpet..

This is a 64V Premier so seats and door trim are wrong for a Sandman but you will get an idea of the colours of dash and trim..
