Vanspiration 19 - Brown Town

Great basis for a build (except for silastic hat)

Love the combo of original tailgate stripes and side scripts, horrible 80's stripes (was everything a running horse, or cos I lived in Darwin then every 4x4 had them), custom square headlight treatment with bonus square spotties!

Anyway, the colour intrigues me. I cant recall a van ever being that, at best maybe a HQ sedan with a white roof or a statesman?

As the video passes over the engine bay. I think I can just make out 1902 as trim code which would be sepia metallic. XX7 is also clearly evident, as is M20.

BTW, the tailgate stripe is non original, this one goes all the way to the sides, on the original the border goes all the way around in a big rectangle

Correct and correct.

I have a Trax red HJ sandman model sitting next to my computer and never noticed the tailgate stripe was boxed like that.
