It was a local car until recently.....and a very nice one at that, although I agree with you about the marbeling. The trailer is a work of art.....if you look closely you will see that he has used a HJ/X/Z bonett skin to for the front panel.

Yeah nice looking van will be interesting to see how much it goes for, I rang the guy about it and when I queried him about the gts guards not being original he told me they were a order option new?? I have never heard this before but the guy seemed pretty definate about it.

in the 70s you could get the salesman to tick any box you wanted regardless of wether it was a factory fit or a dealer fit...unless he has that ordering paperwork though then you take it whichever way you choose too...

I have always loved this trailer. Hmm maybe one day. Might build a ute one though with a nice tarp. hmmm....

Now that I like! I like the marble facia on the instrument panel. Very unique. I really like how the marble facia theme has been extended to the interior of the engine bay blended with its original valencia orange. Cool touch! Shame the interior wasn't restored to its orginal condition though. Very ugly looking interior and the EVO seats. :Texas:

As for the guards. I too am highly confused. I wasn't aware of any order option for fluted HZ guards. Could people who know a little about HZ comment on this please?!

The question about the rust is misleading. I'm pretty sure the seller is pointing out the rust repairs that were made during the resto. I went and had a squiz at this van while it was being reassembled about 2 years ago. A work colleague's husband was doing the panelwork and when she found out I had a Sandman she insisted that I go check out the one that was being worked on in her shed. I believe the owner (Dean) is a spraypainter, hence the marbling (because he could). I'm kinda suprised he's selling it so soon.
