    Looks like a NRMA van.

    Yep, HZ NRMA van. Didn't catch if they said where it was, but you would have to think there would be some percentage of rust in it. He said the plenum was good, but looks like its glass has been "rocked"
    There would still be quite a few vans like this sitting around, I know a few being used as storage sheds, & they will probably stay that way, cos of annoying "low offer" people.

    Hopefully, Blue Victor, vanspiration 25 will be my old HZ sandman being found in a shed all tarped up, from when I sold it in 1992!

    A familiar tale to us all......."Cleaned it up, more rust than expected, lot more work"

    Hmm, now that bring back some memories. I was doing the local NRMA after hours breakdown service in my early twenties as a second job. (1982) Driving a HZ van which only looked slightly better than the one shown here. The boss subcontracted to the NRMA for the Riverstone (nsw) area. The stingy bastard only gave me $80.00 to be on call 24h from 6.00pm Friday night till 6.00am Monday morning. But the job had a couple of benefits, late night breakdowns on ladies cars that were very thank full.

    Haha I guess that's where the motto it pays to be long comes from?
