Was there a HJ Sandman Overlander and does anyone here have one?

Hi gang, was there ever a HJ Sandman Overlander built and if so does anyone on this site own one. I remember seeing an Overlander van at Zupps at Mt Gravatt back in the mid seventies but pretty sure it was a standard van.

Most proper HX Overlanders (built from new vehicles) are Sandman utes and vans, with 1 x tonner (ambulance pack) from memory as this was the easiest way to get a TH400 fitted ute or van. It wasn't until HZ that wagons were made. The very first 2 x Overlanders (Haywood's prototypes) were HJ Sandmans: a ute and a van. I've got pictures of them here somewhere from the original road tests. There were also HQ-WB examples built from secondhand vehicles in the 80's.

Thanks, I would love to see the pics if you can find them.
