    surely it couldn't have come from factory like that it would look too much like a second hand part chucked in a new car. there is no way I would buy a car with a black dash with a cream glove box and side bits(not that thats the case) , has to be someones handy work these cars are 30 years+ afterall

    Hainzy, what is the trim code? It looks like 23C light blue to me in the pic. HZ didn't have Covert as a trim option and your console looks to be a HJ console with the hinged front lid so is not original to your van.

    Gday Absinth.

    the details are thus:

    HZ8WM70
    Body 1935-60V
    paint 567-30526
    L31 m21 GV4
    GVW 1950

    1935 = Carribean Turquoise.
    60V = Chamois vinyl.

    The van came with this interior pretty much, but Byron emailed me the details which broke down the different interior colours.
    From Byron - "If you send me a fax number I can give you a list of what is what colour in the interior, photocopied out of the HZ parts manual. The hoodlining would have been 'chamois' and the carpet 'covert' (a green)."

    So to answer your interior question, Im not sure but I thought thats how it was supposed to be.

    Anyhoo, yes also the console is wrong. Good pickup! The one in it was knackered so i grabbed another out of a HJ statesman.

    Cheers.

    Gday,

    Very interesting reading...

    In my case, to CHANGE the original colour of my dash to a preferred darker shade, I went all out & removed the windscreen etc so I could give it a good spray, so I wouldnt get a 'two tone' effect...

    Cheers

    Our HZ Sandman 63v trim code (Buckskin) has the two tone as well dark crash pad and light bottom doesn't appear to have ever been changed.

    Gday,

    For those with this rare two-tone dash... how many owners had your vehicle belonged to previously?

    Cheers
