shady lady

[Innuendo]

There were multiple Vans named Shady Lady as for how many of them were genuine Sandmans?

The one i have in a book is a south australia van ....the books in b/w but says vans yellow with shady lady and a pic af a lady where the windows go..... the old 202 4 speed, the bumpers have been cut with statesman twin head lights, extra long grill....pretty sure this was a sandman.

Shady Lady I remember was a yellow HJ windowless van with Shady Lady air brushed on the side panels... It appeared to be a HJ Sandman as had GTS guards, dash etc. I have a picture of it saved on my computer at home but am currently on holiday and in Charters Towers atm...

My husband Glenn Ford bought this as an original van when he was doing his apprenticeship. Not sure what happened to it after he sold it.....pity it got wrecked. Good luck with the restoration.
