In 1974 I was living in Australia traveling around the country, I was driving an old Falcon in Sydney and it broke down, I had seen an HQ Sandman van outside Sutton's in Arncliffe, made some inquiries and shortly afterwards walked away with my brand new 308 Sandman manual - one of the first sold in Australia.

I traveled around Aus for 2 years and then bought it back with me to New Zealand, I believe it was one of, if not the first Sandman in the country at the time. I kept it for a few years and then sold it (sadly!)

I'm just finishing off restoring a 1972 Toyota Crown coupe which I've spent a few years on, and want to move onto my next project, a Holden Sandman - Ideally I'd like an HQ, but knowing how hard they are to find, I'm open to anything - whether it be in New Zealand or Australia, I'm not fussed - what's out there?

Ideally I'd like something which hasn't been restored, and it does have to be a genuine Sandman - please let me know what you got, either by replying here, or sending me an email to jpclauson@slingshot.co.nz

Thanks
Robbo
