Mine too Jason. Have wanted an Orchid HQ van since I started playing with these things many years ago - it's very cool to see one listed for sale, kinda gives me hope that I still may stumble upon one one day.

In saying that, this happened to me recently - Over Christmas I drove down to Gympie to pick a tonner up for a mate and tow it home. I had not seen the ute but was hell excited about a road trip with a good mate. Long story short - the tonner had a genuine HQ GTS front on it. My mate hated it from the moment he saw it and before we got out of Gympie town limits I'd bought it for a carton. It was rust free, straight as with Prem beak. Anyway, upon inspection once I got it home and dismantled we found it to have remnants of factory Orchid paint up under the insides of the rear of the guards and along its inner edges!!!!!!

Probably sounds dumb to many but for me it was a pretty cool find. They seemed to have the factory holes for the GTS and Munro badges so not from this van, but just thought I would share anyway.

Cheers
