More Sandman myths

Guys/Gals

Got contacted today by a potential Sandman buyer. Someone told him the way to pick a Sandman is by the space between the digits on the MODEL code on the BODY plate eg HX8W_M_70. If you hear this BS being sprouted make sure you shout it down, as the last thing we want is more BS myths surfacing and getting traction.

I've heard it said that Sandman's only come in Yellow and another one that Sandmans were only HX or HZ

Myths about HK-HG GTS have been around for years, and have taken great work by guys like Ben Stewart to remove them from folklore. Example, HK V8 was auto only.

I'd hate to see this garbage to start springing up about Sandmans. There is a bit out there though, like the ultra rare bench seat Sandman. And the WB Sandman.

...and how many times have people asked where my van came from? Because they/their mate/father etc used to own it. Well, if it's not the same van, WHOA, cause theirs was the same colour/engine/interior/wheels hahaha It's quite funny if you lead them up the path until they're just openly lying.

I recently picked up a WB Series service manual supplement which showed you could option a WB as a Sandman.
Never seen one in person though.
