I vote VY.

Why? Simple, they drive the better than any earlier one, don't have rust issues and myself being 6'5 I fit in the drivers seat!

Don't get me wrong I love early Sandmans, but I'm at the stage once you have seen one original Sandman from each model HQ,J,X,Z it feels like you have seen them all. I'm all for personalizing and standing out of the crowd. For this reason I would be crucified for modifying a proven genuine early Sandman. As a financial move it would also be silly to butcher one up.

With the VY and VZ for me there all Sandmans if they carry the 'HBD' tag and for this reason the Sandman name carries no significance in the vehicle other than it being a good taking point, away to divide the people that can't come to terms with the Sandman name being reused and for people that can't get there head around them being a van simply tell em its a Sandman.
