Buggar that 77t. I thought I deleted that. I will get rid of it now.

Just sent you a PV Absinth (the 77t is still there to)

this is what order i deduct sandman ID or not - in order.
this is quick way and there are always exeptions to the rule.

as the thread title says - Quick ID guide

1) XX7 or XU3 on Body tag & ADR chassis number must end in B for a start (to prevent tag swapping) - look further into this later. Brisbane cars only
2) 2 seater
3) built 10/1975 or later? GVM should be 1860kg / 1950kg / 2000 Kg
4) Paint and trim codes are they sandman or not.
5) if 9/1975 or earlier and non brisbane, they will always be grey areas to ID

i think this should be the initial steps of the process......as it should ID 80% of genuine cars presented.

tyre placards aren't really worth looking at because of all the repo ones around now. - unless you have had the car a long time.

I think the troubles begin when you start trying to id an HJ. Particularly the early ones, unless you have books, original tyre placard you're left with wishing and hoping.
However there is more investigation going on and hopefully we can continue to grow the knowledge here.

In the section "is a HZ Sandman van" if it has a GVW of 2000kg after Dec 1977 as it was unique to HZ Sandman vans after this date.

Has anyone got any info on Chassis numbers and how they tie in with any other info on the vehicle eg. ID plates or HQ-HZ model number

your chassis number should match the number on your ADR tag

HZ Sandman trim codes

Chamois…….…………... . 60V….... Sandman only
Sage Green …….…..…..… 33C….....Sandman only
Tan………………………... 67V..........Base model and Sandman
Light Grey………………. 11C….......Sandman only
Light Blue……………….... 23C, 23V ..Base model and Sandman
