That colour is unusual or rare I would say looks great!

Looks unreal!! Nice seeing an interior other than black

Is it a HQ though? I'm having a brain melt with the HJ front end and interior

It has a HQ horn pad.

Let's say an improved HQ.... Meaning HJ L31 Sandman van was a big improvement over a HQ in all areas that changed except for (many will say) the front sheetmetal, and if splitting hairs the colour choices!

Would be interesting to see a 9/74 HQ Sandman in Contessa Gold, as it may have been one of those HJ colours that were introduced late in HQ (replacing maybe Cognac met or possibly Autumn Gold except it isn't a metallic).

Yeah I know. But seriously, apart from the front sheet metal the HJ did fix a few "problem" areas in HQ, namely the whole dash, the seats, retractable seat belts, linkage throttle and the console. Plus a more powerful 308 to boot. Rest they should have left alone!
