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

The database record of 107 (or whatever it is) is just any plate that has been confirmed as a Sandman both Ute's and Van's.
Of that maybe 25% of these today are complete drivable vehicles.

I would think there would be more than 100 hq sandman vans. Probably less than 1000 as people were still buying hq Monaro coupes. By HJ , coupes were not sold in great numbers. Yes four door Monaro were being sold to family guys but the V8 utes and vans were the new hot thing by HJ . I’ve got a HQ 308 Sandman van and there’s another locally,both aren’t on any register. 100 hq sandman’s seems unlikely

Yep I agree with you. I do wonder how many have been added to the database since www.holdenhistoricalservices.com.au has been offering up certificates or conformation for owners and buyers?

To add to the HQ Sandman mystique, they were never sold new in New Zealand. I have imported 2. Don't know of any others. Maybe Kiwivan or others can help.
Was South Africa ever a export market for them?

Pretty sure it was Australia only. Be neat to be the only Kiwi in Kiwiland to have one let alone two!
