HX Sandman ute in fantastic colour combo

This may be a Sandman in disguise, i'm 99% confident.

Lovely trim line too - Royal Plum metallic with chamois/black trim

did Hx have the bump on the fascia for the RTS badge but not actually wear it?

**pj350** · 24-04-2015, 07:45 PM

I would say no they didnt.

It is a HZ dash. It is the metallic paint on an Elizabeth HX Holden ute that says it should be a Sandman. If it was an L31 M41 i'd have kept quiet and went after it myself, but i'm not interested in a 4.2. Still would have been a very nice looking car when new.

Are you getting keen for another project? :-)

Nice colour for sure, needs a lot to bring it back to original, any thoughts on what it is worth?

**HK1837** · 24-04-2015, 09:41 PM

My opinion $5k. To me semi-restored it is a $25k car and would cost every bit of $20k to get it right doing it yourself, and that would be as a non-original build.

Nope, but one day an L31 M41 Sandman ute may come along that appeals to me and i'll buy it. But the right combo may never appear.

It's a 3 seater with 2200gvm

2200kg is fine for Sandman, are you certain it is a 3 seater? If it is it is I think the first metallic HX Holden ute or van I've yet recorded that isn't a Sandman outside of Acacia Ridge built examples.
