    HX Sandman Van Confirmation Please

    Hello folks,
    I am brand new to the world of Sandman Vans, I have been busy with all other sorts of Holdens since I was a lad. Would it be possible for someone to assess if the following is a genuine HX Sandman:

    Model - HX8WM70
    Body No - 216004-A
    Trim - 1916-18V
    Paint - 568-17777
    Eng - L31
    Trans - M21
    GVM - 1950
    Seating Cap - 2
    VIN - 8M70TGL365527X
    Chassis No - DHO85294
    Engine No - 0951450P

    Thank you for your assistance.
    Cheers,

    18V Trim confirms it was built as a Sandman along with the 1950 GVM.
    The "P" on the end of the engine number is for "Police" meaning it has had a pass and given a police issued engine number (no it was not a police car or engine!).
    Chassis number doesn't read right (check it again).

    Hi folks,
    Like I said, new to Sandman Vans. I will have another crack at the chassis number tomorrow. Thanks for your help so far.
    Cheers,

    Thanks, all the numbers line up the Body and PSN are a perfect match with another van I have recorded.

    Wow, you maintain a data base. Nice work, nice work indeed.
    I should be satisfied that I have purchased a genuine Sandman Van?

    The van is requiring a complete restoration.
    Currently it is Atlantis Blue I think, it will be going back to the original Papaya.
    The gearbox was changed out for a 4 speed top loader, approved via a QLD blue tag mounted on the firewall.
