    Why would there be a .."Prototype Sandman"..in the first place? They are a ute or van loaded with extra's, to create another model. There would be no road testing of any sort, the only testing, if at all, would have been marketing.

    To guage market interest, hence the Ewe't.

    Then to build pilot cars for brochures and advertising. HQ has no photos of real cars so we can assume there was no pilots. HX and HZ we know there were pilot/prototypes built.
