Auto vs manual ratio

[Boostershopper]

Hi there does anyone know what would be the ratio of manual to auto sandmans sold . I'm also a newbie so I hope I asked this in the right forum area..

Ok ....I should have said rough guess like 50/50 or more like 80/20 spilt

There are no records of Sandman manual/auto builds so it is impossible and fruitless exercise to put a number on it. However this community relies on data gathered from people supplying their genuine Sandman info so a picture can be built from that data. However it would still not give a true indication of the total numbers.

Why do you need to know the build ratio of Auto and Manual?

I have recently bought a hj sandman (basket case) it is an auto and need to source a lot of parts. I've got a lot of work ahead of me so option A is go manual or option B is go auto . The van didn't come with motor or box

At the end of the day its worth more restored back to how it came out of the factory

I would of thought Boostershopper that you would return it to its former glory as per the tags? I have recently picked up a HJ Auto and am stoked not having to worry about gears and is something slightly different to the run of the mill 4 speeds.
