sandman decals hx hz

[sandman 78]

l own hx reg as hz van colour is suppermint metalic when the van was new it never came with the decals as you all would know they made the sandmans with and without
my question is does anybody here know the correct colour decal to suite the suppermint colour l have seen blue and white and purple decals

[Innuendo]

Why do you say it's a HX registered as a HZ? What was the month and year of manufacture?

>9/77 is HZ <8/77 is HX

Super Mint (not suppermint) is a 1977-8 colour. It should read 1938 on the trim code and 567-30529 on the paint line of the tag.

Someone else should be able to fill you in on the standard stripe colour for Super Mint.

[sandman 78]

you have the colour code correct why l say hx hz because it was made very late 77 and reg early 78

So it's a HZ and not a HX. You have made this a little confusing. Build month?

OK, it must be a secret...

Early HZ's had lots of earlier parts, just like the Allen head sports horn cap.

To my knowledge all early HZs, with a chassis number beginning with AHZ (up to the end of Jan 78) had the silver (two wing) ignition barrel. The black (single wing) barrel was fitted to all BHZ onwards.

When I purchased my HZ BO6 in Dec 77, my brother purchased a new HZ Sandman & a good friend purchased an HZ GTS at the same time.

All 3 of these cars were plated 10/77 yet both the Sandy & the GTS had the correct rounded HZ horn cap.

I've not seen an HZ with an Allen key type cap that was genuinely factory fitted. There may of course be exceptions at particular plants, but they would be very rare.

What other early parts are you referring to ? There is usually a reason for any parts running into the next models series, especially if they are specific items.

As far as the OP is concerned, what does he mean when he says he has an HX registered as an HZ. Surely the rego papers have the correct chassis number on them & it is really correct ? Unless it has a police re-stamp, the chassis number should be prefixed BHX, AHZ or whatever.
