Looking for a HX Sandman

[robp]

Looking for genuine HX 308 four speed Sandman panelvan in deville blue...

Am not in a position to restore myself due to physical limitations so either a fully restored or if anyone out there would be interested in restoring one for me?

Cheers

Rob

I guess one needs to show up restored. I dont know where you could get someone to fix one up. The hard part is finding one plated like your old one. I like the photo of the old papaya one in your avatar.

Good luck Rob. I have the car you're after, just not the condition. Looking forward to getting mine finished......looking more forward to actually getting it started!!!! It been sitting now for way too long.

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!

The Papaya van belonged to one of my good mates… we went through primary and high school together a long time ago! He bought it new in 1977. At the time I was faming in the wheat belt in WA. That photo was taken at Wave Rock in Hyden after as messy night at the Lake Grace Hotel.
Good times to say the least.
‘‘Adam’’ is your old man’s name Trevor? You know the whole story!

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.
