Consensus tells me it needs a shite load of money spent on it

lmao ! 100% consensus.

Thanks for the obvious old fruit but was wondering more if it was a genuine Sandman, not too many HQ Sandman utes in the 4350 post code soooo.

Consensus, I have been over this old chest nut in depth and it just does not add up. The 3rd tag is missing and still to this day can not tell if its a 2 or a 3 on the seating cap. The console mount has been brazed on not welded or spot welded but the clincher was the body is kingswood but belmont on the tags. I am no expert and this is just my opinion,thats why it is not in my shed already.

Yeah, I completely concur.

That looks like a 3 to me and yeah, amongst other stuff.

Can't vouch for the body itself but the tags point to Sandman based on what I can read.

Barbados Green
253 4 Speed
Looks to be Black Interior and is 100% 2 seat.

It would be well worth looking into further.

Tag rivets don't look right to me.

Agree. Something has been changed or a re spray once.

Inuendo,how do you say 100% 2 seater? When i was looking at buying this and put the tags up i got smashed with people telling me it has done the rounds of the internet and was a 3 seater. I have seen this in the flesh and it looks altered to me, so how are you 100-% sure?

Based on what I see in these images the "2" matches the other 2 used in a different place on the compliance plate.

OK, I've just taken a closer look via Photoshop and yes there "could" be evidence of tempering.
You'd need to carefully examine this one.
