    Stripes may never had been on as they were supplied in the glovebox for the dealer to fit or not.
    Most likely would have been white stripes on Monterey Green.

    All points to it being a Sandman. Prove it with a HSS certificate. www.holdenhistoricalservices.com.au

    The wheel centre caps are wrong along with the air cleaner. Door/Guard to 1/4 panel is a very different shade of colour.
    Take a look at the spare wheel winch for the correct Sandman/GTS/Rally rim retainer.

    Sorry Max for the confusion,

    The images on the older Shannon's listing showed long tail lion (wrong for HQ)
    The newer current Lloyd's listing it appears to now have the correct short tail lion caps fitted.
