Hi there,
Sandman_xx7 has a banner of vans with solid colours under the pic of his black van.
Can someone tell me what the colour is second from left? I cant quite read it.
Thanks
John.

Thanks for that Alien.D
I'll shoot to google and see if I cant track down a van in that colour for a look see. Quest for a new colour for a colour change may be up.

No worries....but it seems Ashley Grey isnt a holden colour....looked through all the colours on that link...wasnt there. Maybe some of the gurus here can shed some light on it

Ashley Grey is certainly a Holden, Kingswood and Premier colour plus most other GMH vehicles at the time (Commodore, Torana, Sunbird and Gemini). It was available from late 1978. It is however one of the 5 x A632 colour chart colours I have yet to find a Sandman in: Ashley Grey, Dark Carmine, Mojave Beige, Panama Green, Sandlewood and Tuxedo Black MkII. I have non-Sandman commercials in Mojave and Panama, which you'd expect as there were only 4 x colours available on Holden commercials, but not even a single Kingswood commercial vehicle in the others. There are plenty of early Panama Green cars but no evidence yet of post 11/78 Sandmans.

Just out of interest i'm still yet to record 7 x colours available on pre 11/78 HZ Sandman, 4 x off the A629 colour chart and 3 x others made available earlier in 1978: Antelope, Persian Sand MkII, Tuxedo Black, Ultra Blue, Mojave Beige, Mirage Blue and Sage Green.

yeah simmos icecream... that would be worth heaps. do they have any spare room in there sheds? lol

i've been dying for a hz tuxedo sandman to show up, but being the most bogan of them all they definately all got written off first... but im happy with the hx, ive seen another black hx panno but it had windows & there is a few hj's but i dont really count them as im a lover of the series 2 decals... im thinking i might go with a hz look though (twin headlight) so i can have the airdam on it (hx frontend is a little boring yet alone the ugliest grill they did...) also you can actually see at night with the dual headlight...
