    I know where the 3 seats come from. All the misprinted Brisbane tags. My HJ tags are a great example.

    The tags that were sent to me today for query were Brisbane and they were not stamped XX7. Had 19V trim on this HJ van so that theory of 19V on Commercial = Sandman is null.

    I have heard that they all must have Sandman in the horn button or they are fake.

    Haven't heard that myth before. 19V is just black vinyl trim for HJ Holden and Belmont.

    I had an argument with a bloke on ebay trying to tell the world that yellow needle gts dashs were the rarest. Would not believe you could get them in wb. I think HJ 5 digit would be the least common, but will stand corrected.

    Lol, some one tried to tell me that my old Kingswood sedan (75 HJ, Deauville blue, Long grain gazelle interior, 202 3spd) belonged to his grandfather and that he had been duped out of it by some guy and that it "was a rare build" pfft. What was special about that build of car I ask you? can anyone here tell me?
