its nothing to exciting. couldnt really tell me much. but sounds like i may have a rare car on my hands....
Hi Adam,
There were approx. 150 of the HBD canopy’s built.
They were a build to order.
Only built as one spec type so what you have is exactly what all the other canopy’s are built like.
They are fibreglass with 2 small internal pop out windows.
Carpet lined inside, and with a lift up rear latch.
Not sure what else I can tell you about them apart from they were quite popular and built to a very high standard.
The defence force ordered around 10 for their promotional purposes.
If you went to an air show you would see a couple of black panel vans with screens and speakers mounted inside the canopy.
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Jassen
Adam,
All canopy’s were built with the rear window fitted.
Not sure if it is unroadworthy with it removed.
Best to check with your licensed Mechanic/RWC centre.
Sorry but I don’t have access to any HBD serial numbers.
Does it have a HBD build plate under the bonnet.
The option code should be HCAN with a date stamped.
That should confirm it is genuine.
Regards,
Jassen

But your right they were not factory offered.
Just like this:

Of course the VE is an AMCAT build and really shouldn't have Sandman on it at all.
But it shows the design.
