V series 'Sandman'

I agree 100 percent with the above statement. It was clearly the only way they were aloud to revive a seventies name. See how it goes but we won't really back the idea because we don't want to seen as a company that can't come up with new ideas. You can build a canopy and use the sandman idea for that but we won't actually build a new sandman.
You have to remember that there was no sandman revival when these canopy conversions came out. So they were hardly going to go out all guns blazing on a seventies car that was struggling to pull $3000.

Not sure what you mean by allowed or (aloud as you wrote) the product name is a trademark of Holden and they can use it whenever and however they like.
It's not mine, yours or anyone else's decision. It may well have been tentative toe dipping when it was released. But my point is this: Holden made a SANDMAN prototype that people loved and requested that they be put into production. Holden did and over a period of 3 years with little to no publicity still managed to sell over 200 units. The prototype was called a Sandman and the exact same canopy mould was used for all the others that followed. Park them side by side = same thing!

Anyway, hopefully I've added some useful information for those who do care and everyone's had their say "again!"
