    Sandman sports?

    Walking down the street #2 son points out a Jag, then a Lotus and Porsche. I start explaining the difference between sports and luxury cars.
    He asks if a Sandman is a sports car, because it has sports accessories. This got me thinking.

    Sports through and through mate. Before joining this site, I always thought of 'the sandman' as a muscle car, and I still do to a degree, of course a muscle car that lacks quite a bit of performance!

    Hmm,

    Bucket seats, sports dash, floor shift, all in the 70's was pretty sporty. In 2011 its all standard fare.

    They were sporty, not sports car though. A 260z was a sports car of the day. An Astin Martin is a real sports car. A Sandman was a commercial vehicle with sporty options. The closest Holden came to true sports car was the GTR-X and they didnt build it. A Monaro was based on a family sedan with two doors removed so no sports car in my book either,muscle car maybe.

    A sports car would really only have two doors and a hatchback in my reckoning.

    Sports option, not sports car.
