Hmm. I liked the Mambo Sandman. I saw a purple V series new on the yard at a Holden dealer in Sydney when I first met my wife and even she said it looked good. But they just needed to be more than a canopy conversion to really be up there with a H series in my opinion. Holden were so close to becoming a market leader in design at that time. They brought back the one tonner, they had a Torana concept car, they almost revived the Sandman name, monaro was reborn. The Maloo was being promoted as the fastest ute in America. Then they went all dowdy and just stopped for some reason.
This thread is purely based on if the V series is a Sandman or not, even including a poll on the result. So you can hardly add a post that declares that we should get past the rivet counting part. This thread is 100% about the rivet counting I would have thought?
