Nice HQ Sandman - Car Sales 15 March 2018 - Monterey Green White Stripes

[Sandaro]

I remember reading that Byron had about 110 hq sandmans recorded (utes and vans presumably). I take it that is ones Byron has been provided numbers for or come across. So for him to have that many I expect there are many more out there, but I would still hesitate to think it would be over a thousand.

My Dad has a big collection of Wheels, motor manual, modern motor from the era, most months and none of his had any model announcement or stories on release of new hq sandman, bit of a low key release, maybe with hj only 9 or 10 months away really just had to get the toe in the water in what was clearly becoming a bit niche in the market

-Thanks for the comments - certainly a lot of passion out there.

I bought the chrome yellow van new Mid January so one of the very first to hit the road. Two years touring and if my memory serves me correctly I didn't see many other HQ Sandman's.
But I remember the HJ's coming on stream in numbers (that's my two cents worth)

Anyway it would be nice if the recorded proven van numbers were made available to the forum - at least that way it is a benchmark to start with.

HQ Barbados green is coming along slowly (refer to aerial shot attached) - more pictures up soon.

Cheers,
Robin

You see the mods were happening from new. GTS badges, Bonnet Scoop, Mag Whels, Curtains and Bull bar etc.
Great to see the images of your new HQ Sandman. Really looking forward to the updates on your Barbados sandy.

Wow! 110 HQ Sandman's on his list. I wouldn't have thought he would have that many. I had trouble getting that many on my V-Series registrar.
If that is corrrect I'd like to know the numbers on the list of HJ etc to make the comparison.
