Stylish in the 90's

[Sandaro]

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.

I have a scoop like that one.

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.

Ha Ha, that's great. I'd forgotten all about the number plates on the design. What a classic!!!
