    She still comes up well in photos . It's been a good van, the paint must be all but 20 years old now, and it's been used so it isn't a show car! I've just kept it tidy around the edges and used it.

    I've done plenty of miles since those pics were taken, I drove it everyday for a few years when it lived outside, these days it has a dry home in the shed and just gets out for weekend use, mainly for camping trips where it sees plenty of unsealed and dirt roads.

    Awesome photo. Makes me a bit more excited to see my Sandman finished. I've always wanted a Deauville Blue HJ but have ended up with a Mandarin Red HJ. Looks like you've had some good times in it!

    Really good stuff, great to see them being used.Your van is a credit to you. Many year's ago when I had my ute it spent a lot of time on unsealed road's, was in it's element.

    Cheers.

    A great survivor that gets used!

    Congratulations on actually using your van and not treating it like a Ferrari.

    I went looking for a good fishing spot today with a mate in my van and we went up one of the local dirt roads, tailgate open and dust flying everywhere.

    I thought for a moment....."What am I doing????!!!! This will take hours to clean"

    And as if on cue, my mate said "Man, this is FUN, I wish I had a van like this."

    That's what I was doing..... having FUN. Carwash is cheap.
    Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!
