I drove into Tom Price one 48° afternoon and there in front was a HZ Sandman on the hoist at the service station workshop, and another in Katanning last year in the local garage, 2 days ago a green van in the Midwest moving thru.
It's almost 2017 and they won't be making Holdens here anymore, those days of finding good clean original ones for cheap are just a memory. Keeping the opening prices high is to preserve the integrity and aim for those that appreciate a basic van that isn't pretending it's a sandman, and hoping it stays this way, column change and bench seat, Australian made.
