No, you need build records for that! The only colour and trim rrecords I have is what i've recorded off ID plates.

Our yellow sandman was Adelaide body and dandenong built which I thought was common because we have come across many vans the same like ski mans and Sam Lawson I think we know of 4 i can remember for sure

All Dandenong HK-HZ vans and HQ-HZ tonners are Eliizabeth bodies. All Pagewood HK-HG and HJ-HZ vans are Elizabeth bodies. It is how they were done.

Of the 264 Dandenong HZ vans that could be Sandmans, take away those that are just V8 4spd or auto Holden vans, say conservatively 20% and you have about 200 Dandenong assembled HZ Sandman vans give or take 25, so lets say between 175 and 225.

The purpose of this exercise was to see how many there were, and how many I have recorded. Then apply that % to the other series and assembly plants to get a very rough estimate for total build number based upon how many I have actually recorded. I know it is like pis$ing in the wind, but at least given the data I have I can narrow it down considerably to an actual number that makes sense.

So do you know say how many were valencia orange one were made or is that info not available

In 1977 that is

valencia only ran for 8 months , but it seems fairly popular still as you see a few around.

I'm actually quite suprised with those numbers....really thought there was more than that built

Remember it is only 4 months of HZ and only one assembly plant!
