Been chatting with a bloke who's fixing up a van for a mate. Its a 78 model HZ. Original Paint. It was ordered with the DY1 stripes. Not DY2. Quite unusual. The current owner brought it in 1979. So it was basically new. I wonder if they where dealer fitted.
Cheers
Jason

That is a very interesting combo. It works for me, sort of paddle pop lion colours
If that's a genuine HZ Sandman I'll stand naked in the middle of town in peak hour........
Have a closer look at the photo guys...

tailight surrounds?
Yep, all of the above. It has it's original short headlining still fitted and there is no provision for a long one to be fitted.
I think the owner may be telling porkies :errf:

I quite like the colour combination actually ... looks good
I went for this colour combo on my HZ replica...
As AgrO71 was saying in another thread, the best thing about doing a replica is that you can option it up the way you want it.
I wanted a HZ front and really wanted yellow but I did`nt like the jasmine so I went for the absynth from the HX colour codes... The stripe option was DY1 or DY2. I did`nt like the blue stripes with the yellow so went for the brown ones which I`d never seen before on the yellow and yeah I thought it sounded pretty strange too but it worked out quite well.
A bit like a chocolate and banana paddle pop lion? I`d never thought of that but it sure sounds good to me
