    Hi 666 and welcome to the forum. Sandman's have a seating capacity of two, and unfortunately this has a capacity of three. So it is not a Sandman.

    Cheer's.

    Sandman "special vehicle package" was not available on Kingswood in the HX range.... it was only available on HQ and HJ Kingswood ute.

    All Sandman's... van or ute were two seaters....

    So a HX in Kingswood guise and three seater can not be a Sandman.

    8WN80 is a Kingswood ute
    It is Absinth Yellow with slate black trim, 253 engine and trimatic auto. Built in Melbourne.

    I saw a neat HQ windowless Belmont today on the way to work. I pulled up to have a chat with the guy, he's had the van for 20 years bought it from a painter.
