The only HX deville blue Sandman , (not sure if it was a 308 4 speed) ive seen in the last few year is on picture of one on the internet that must have been in a roll over- or pictures I till have after 35 years, It was not as easy to record daily events back then some GOOD some BETTER some GREAT.

I only remember the good times as they’re the ones that count!! Only regret was selling my HX SANDMAN in 1980.

Good luck and be patient. You never know, a 6cyl or 253 one might turn up and all you have to do it put a 308 in it!

Its Deauville Blue. My HX ute is this colour.

Thanks for the correction on colour - Devil, is who people thought that we were siding with, My mistake.

Got the spelling wrong, never was much of a speller +it was 32 year since I sold it!

There was a daily driver on eBay about 12 months ago....right colour, right engine, right transmission and a panel van. Problem was its now a ute!!! Was so tempted at the time with view to re-shell. Decided against it.

Why would you turn SANDMAN van into a Ute? Beyond me!!
