HX Trim

[seavan]

Hi and just a quick one. Did the HX Sandman have the trim 1896-67v in it?
Thanks ,Seavan.

Yes, HX Sandman had 67V trim.

1896 isn't trim, it is the paint on the car. It is Contessa Gold metallic, and it is a late HJ colour which carried on into HX. A HX ute or van in 1896 would be most likely a Sandman (or rather be very unlikely not to be a Sandman, especially on a Pagewood or Elizabeth example).

Yes its a Elizabeth van with 1950 kg. The tag says 1896-67V trim and paint is 567-15942. Have they got it wrong on the tag?

[HK1837]

That is correct. Dulon refinish code 567-15942 is for GMH's 1896 Contessa Gold Metallic.

Unless it is a Kingswood van (1950kg says it is a V8 van) I'd be 99.9% sure it is a Sandman. You don't get much better indicators in HX on a Holden van than metallic paint and 1950kg GVW. BUT both can be also found on a Kingswood van that has been optioned with metallic paint and XU4.

67V is Tan BTW seavan

Yeah its an L32 with M20 . Its HX8WM 70 so it sounds legit with all gts options. Thanks Jennie I like the all tan look!

It is only Tan on a WM70/80 if it is a Sandman, otherwise it is Brown.

Very common mistake though! So you're not alone.
