Monaro is actually Aboriginal. I think it means "High Plains" or "Mountain" or something like that.

Just found this, I found some of them giggly

Always hear people say, this is an Aboriginal word for this or this is a Aboriginal word for that. Since the Aborigines never had a written language how is this worked out ?? Monaro's meaning could be two dogs !

Yes, I had no idea myself that they had cars in the dreamtime!!!!

And ones with only 2 doors LMAO at that whole scenario.

Still got it. I got sick of wannabe experts telling me what is and what isn't a Sandman. You just don't realise how many f***wits there are in the world until you list a car on ebay. I might put it on car sales in a few months time. For now it can just sit in the shed.

The world is full of clowns - there's just not enough circuses

I had 2 "lookers" contact me before and after I took it off. We'll see what happens although I'm not really fussed either way.
What I didn't know was that HJ's never came out with HQ Sandman stripes, that you could not get a HJ with a 308 in it and the steering column was wrong because it didn't have a combo switch......... Dickheads!

i sold a sandman van recently. didnt have any troubles at all. guy paid for it before he'd seen it. I think when you're up into the 20's to 30k mark then all the 'experts' come out of the woodwork.

I think it is well known what the Monaro region was named after, and this is where Noel Bedford got the name for the HK coupe (prior to then they I think were going to be HK Kingswood coupe and HK GTS coupe). I don't think there is any definitive actual translation because it wasn't a written language, but Aboriginal people when asked what this area was called they probably said "Monaro", and I guess when prodded for what it meant they said "high land" or "high plain" or "elevated area" or "mountain" or whatever.

Experts on nothing are everywhere. Apparantly there is not V2 Monaro, they are either a VX, VY or VZ. Had this problem with an idiot wheel seller a few years back.
