A beautiful custom van there. From the clip looks to be a great deal of tradesman talent gone onto it. Is it a known van on here or on the show scene?

[Innuendo]

Great to see the full length wagon bumper installed correctly. Nice and tight with correct hinges.
Nice custom unit all over. Owner must of had enough of it because there are things that could be better finished.
Looks to have air bags and custom fuel tank and location with filler on the passenger side.
Great ride, I like it!

Re Sandaro's question.....I don't know of it, have only recently seen an outdoor shot on a Holden van owners facebook or something

I wonder if there is enough interest to buy a finished van like that to push the price? Time will tell

There's also a HJ Sandman going up, paint/trim don't match the HHS report but looks great anywayhttps://burnsandcoauctions.com.au/po...dman-panelvan/

Purple HQ sold for $90,000

Blue HJ sold for $64,000

Buyers premium on this one was 9.9% making them $98,910 and $70,336

The HJ was cheap at that price

Yeah I agree, though I get a little lost with values on these ones.

Is the value in how it presents now or the fact its a legit Sandman?....Does being wrong paint and trim drag it back much, or is that just for purists and Joe Public doesn't really care?

[Sandaro]

I think that unless you restore it to exact paint and trim it is only worth custom van money. Alternatively the buyer will be factoring in the cost of putting things right, but especially with paint this can't be changed easily, so purists would just move on.
