The Question you want is what SERIES is it?

If it is factory original or factory authetic then it is obviously HX or HZ by the tail-light surrounds and mirrors. Dead giveaway is the lack of an RTS badge on the tailgate, and I can't quite see a chin spoiler on it. It does appear to have a Kingswood front bar on it so it isn't dead stock original. So all that adds up to is a HX with Kingswood front bar.

byron,you have missed one important point but the rest of your points are correct if you hadnt of missed the one point i am refering to..

Ok fess up, who said it was a WB?

pretty obvious with no side repeater lights

Yup, it was that obvious. I've seen HQ-HZ repaired using WB quarters before though!

I did actually get the question right - ie what MODEL is it! And I did qualify with "if it is original". Obviously far from original!

Great poll twotees . It's would have been interesting to see how many people know their Sandamans . Shame it was spoiled with only a few votes .Least my vote counted :happy:

all the points quoted point to it being HX but we went with it being HZ only because of the colour in the pic looks more like jasmine yellow than absinth yellow....
the side repeater lights, we hadn't noticed they were not on other vans either learn something knew each day.....

I went the same as Jennie. HZ. Thought the colour was Jasmine yellow.

Although could have been HX as the mirrors look black.

Did not check the blinkers :(

Ok - here is the original photo without photoshopping, and a shot of the same car from different angle.

You may now continue the discussion :goth:

I think im the only one who voted HX.. Me so wonely....

I said HX too because of the lack of RTS badge. Chin spoiler is very hard to see from the rear shot. WB windscreen washers are pretty clear in the front shot. A quick look at the kick plates and under the dash would also confirm WB heritage amongst other bits and pieces.
