yes I have just had a closer look, and it appears original, it is in such good condition for its age which would be about 37...how nice to find a totally original sandman like that, better than our red van in fact...must have been in a garage or carport all its life as no sign of surface rusting either....Originally Posted by wbute

Hi, thanks to James (wbute) for the prompting for me to join the forum.
Well spotted James. Same car at Sawtell as in the 1990 shot. Dad still the same owner from new. Still used as a plumber's van. Although as he nears retirement doing less work these days.
Dad and I both have a soft spot for FB/EKs as well so we did a road trip in the Sandman to Sawtell to see the show. Car is still going great. Has not been restored, but does have some scars from 35 years of use. 4/1976 Factory 308 4 speed.
BTW in the 1990 photo I'm the fashion bandit wearing the truckers hat which had the logo "Sandman - delivers the goods" Anyone remember them? I still have the hat.

then you might remember me, im the kid that came up to your van and talked to you.
G'day HQGTSbrad, I thought it must be you, meant to thank you for the picture you posted, not a bad shot at all. I might have to pinch it as my avatar or whatever they are called. Pity didn't get to speak to your Dad, did see him with you just as we were driving off.

I have a scoop like that one.
Should get a plate made up for the bottom of it, so i can do it for display purposes like above.
BO6 = Rarer then a Sandman
