Just Another Sandman Question.

[Absinth]

I'll check it out when I get a chance. But from memory HJ all had armrests, there is no mention of it in HJ as optional.

As far as I can tell, as I put in an above post HQ and HJ were as per the base vehicles.

HQ Belmont and HJ Holden were pretty much the same interior wise.... no armrests just a chrome lever handle and rubber floor mats....

I had a HQ and 3 HJ Sandmans back in the early 80's and they all had armrests and carpet... my mates HJ Sandmans also had armrests and carpet so either they all got optioned or it was standard fitment in Sandman.

That build sheet is strange.... why type in STD. for the RR lights and then type RUB for floor covering instead of STD as rubber floor mats were standard fitment in Belmont... Why type in anything if the - dash means no change ie: STD???????

HQ Sandman may have been more along the lines of a Belmont but HJ was definately upgraded interior wise over the base model....

Adam, i'm pretty sure the HZ brochure car is actually a HX.

I think RUB being on the build sheet is if they put STD there may have been confusion as to what was standard. Maybe it was in response to prior stuff ups? The carpet issue is a perplexing one. I haven't 100% figured it out from the ordering procedures and features manuals, and this may explain why ie confusion so RUB was used. Kingswood is the most confusing, especially HJ.

Yes HJ Sandman did have an upgraded interior over HQ. D14 armrests became part of the XX7/XU3 package later on, but there is no mention of them in the release documentation (including the options list), but I do not have the HJ release features manual page I need - this is another thing I need to finalise on HJ. Carpet also became standard with bucket seats (although this is still confusing in Kingswood). So i'd say the HQ you had was optioned but the HJ's were all standard.
