It’s a panel van, not a surf wagon.

It's a bloody panel van not a "surf wagon"

I used to have a sandman. It was proper knackered with smoke out the exhaust and peeling paint, but it was fantastic at the drive in on a Saturday night. I would have some smokes, a couple of beers and a packed bong and me and my girl would get in the back and have our own party. Those were the days my friend.

Did you guys bother to seek any local advice on the Australian car market? Doesn't seem likely.

Gidday from QLD my mate owned a white WB van for a mortuary vehicle I have a custom made mortuary van from WESTERN AUSTRALIA it's a Toyota Camry panel Van cheers Stephen 🤠,✌️

wasn't there one in mad max ? when they went on vacation in the movie ❤

Mike has been putting away a few too many pork pies…what a porker 😂

I love the show but please don’t do any Aussie cars unless you get a decent consultant, that terrible 6 cylinder needs to get out of there, minimum you needed a period correct 253 or 308 V8, or resto- mod it with a modern LS Motor, that would have been perfect. No self respecting Bogan Aussie would leave that 6 in there. Fill the back of it up with lots of velour,mirrors a comfortable mattress, a bar and it would be something someone’s daughter would be glad to loose her virginity in. That is what they were for, burnouts and deflowering. You could put a sticker on the back of them, “Your Daughter in here”.

Where did you find TWO panel wagons in black? Most of the footage was of DB-27-SJ. The engine work was done on DI-02-LY. Both cars were originally white.

Elvis giving me the Ed China vibes haha Where bouts in NSW you guys are hosting?

Calling this series “Wheeler Dealers - World Tour” and then filming most of it in Australia is a bit of a joke…C’mon Mike stop conning us and get on with it 🙄

It’s a no go it’s got windows in the back, they are better with out the windows and it’s 6 cylinder has to be 8 cylinder.

Who ever bought that got ripped off

Back in The Day in UK .This is What Got Me in To Aussie V8s And Still Today Love Them .HAD a VE VXR8 But uk call it a Vauxhall ?

Coming to Australia... good move! There's a ton of wicked cars unique to Aus that you boys can do. I'm onto discovery now to see how this turns out. BTW your show is the best been watching you since your early days, great your still going

OMG, It's like watching 2 monkeys trying to play chess, these two Pomms moaning about an Aussie classic machine.

The WB was made in the 1980’s ,right up to 1984…. certainly NOT a ‘70s Ute /Panel Van. Get your facts right…

Old Man used to call them a microwave, because you could do a bird in the back in 2 mins.... Different times....

The Sandman was an iconic panel van of my era,,,a mate bought one in Darwin in 1974 brand new for $4500 it had GTS options and a 308 V8,,,,, such memories,,, A wb doesn't come close to an original Sandman but is okay,,,it needs a V8 !!

What a dope, Get in the back with ya Mrs and fun is only limited by your imagination and her Dads proximity.

20k lol Aussies are having fun ripping off the poms

It’s not a hearse, it’s a f@ck truck!!!

Did Elvis say it was a V8. Looks like a Straight 6 to me.

202 6 cyl and wrapping instead of paint. 2 of many reasons this will not sell for anything close to $100K. So much potential wasted

Yeah love this

Actually WB was 80s model, last HZs were early 80 and i even seen a brand new HZ wagon purchased by family friend with blue motor 4.2

It’s not worth $20 k ,,, It’s only the 6 cylinder engine, and it’s been resprayed , for a reason, Save ya money , walk on ! 😂😂😂

300000 kilometres is nothing for a Toyota Hilux this the generation 6 for the Toyota Hilux and is the Australian version because of the quarter windows (lights) and l myself own a generation 5 Toyota Hilux just the rear wheel drive single cab with the aluminium tray and my Hilux has done 437000 kilometres and it's running don't be scared by 300000 400000 500000 kilometres on any Toyota infact l have seen a generation 5 Toyota Hilux sell that had done 980000 kilometres and the seller had no trouble selling it for aud $500 and it was running and registered l don't know why 300000 kilometres that is nothing for a Toyota it maybe a lot for British and European built vehicles

Should of just dropped in a V8

good old microwave... put a bird in the back ,,, done in half an hour

Oh dear. 3.3 l aka 202 total gas guzzling HoS donk.

Mike I have been following your programs for years now am thinking of building a Vauxhall calibra rear wheel drive with the Saab b204 we’re can I get a conversion plate to marry the 204 with a bmw derv gearbox and what diff should I use for drifting

Being in Australia and the issue and upgrade you have done to this is really nothing and you talk it up. Basic upgrades and for the age of the car it would be expected to have some small problems. To find one in that great conditions half your work was gone

No good without the V8 . I've had a few of them

In 1977 I bought my very first car, it was a 1971 HG Holden panel van, had a 186 (3.0L) straight six, and a ‘three on the tree’ manual gearbox. I then gave it a heart transplant, put in a 307 (5.0L) Chevy V8, with a two speed powerglide auto, it went like a rocket! If only I still had the van (and the beat up HK Monaro I took the 307 Chev out of), both would be worth a bloody fortune. Anyway.... Surfing wasn’t out thing, shaggin was our thing. Friday night at the Dundas drive-in, all the panel vans were parked backwards at the back, tail gate open, laying on the mattress with your girl watching the movie. At regular intervals the tail gates of the vans would close and a bit of shaggin would take place, those were the days! The old panel van was usually called a ‘shaggin wagon’ or a ‘sin bin’ or my favourite, a ‘fuck truck’. Memories..... Cheers,

I paid $1500 for a second hand HQ panel van in Sydney in late1979. A bloke I worked with bought a brand new Sandman back in late 1979 or 1980 for around $4600 I guess they've gone up a bit.

😂 Mike your worst intro into Australia, especially for a non-classic model holden panel, just to dress it up like a pig. Flip Flops!! Buddy when in Oz, thongs 😂😂😂 I hope this shorten clip never makes it on national TV… you'll be hammered lol😅

That’s a shagging wagon that creates life not takes life so definitely not a hearse

Love the ClubLock in the back. Essentially to stop theft.

why only 1/2 episode

Ooofff...20k for a 6 cyl? I would have offered closer to 12-13k starting price

Absolutely love the Shagin' Wagons. Any old Holden, and Ford for that matter. Hell, I'm even a fan of the P76.. I really hope the boys find one while they're here!

Welcome to the real world . You've now tasted a piece of Aussie history.

Thongs Kimosabi…not Flip Flops…(If you can bowl off the short run through a bindi patch in a game of backyard cricket at a bbq with thongs on you are immediately an Aussie)…

WB was 1980 boys, wrapping a WB in that SANDMAN PANELVAN colour, WRONG !!!

WB 80's

They never made a WB sandman it stops HZ

Throw on a set of roof racks & some Sandman stickers or a vinyl decal like the one on Max's panelvan in "Mad Max" & you have a surf van.

white stock van painted black ' a bit strange to paint a big van black but the fire wall was left white (cheaper job) side windows were not popular and undesirable , and a 350 holley is a standard replacement two barrel fellas for any holden six from 149 to 202 as long as you have the two barrel manifold , the different prices between sandman vans and stock WB vans is significant because sandman vans were a GTS Monaro in a van not realized by a lot of people in the early years what you guys have there is a kingswood van

The classic Aussie Shag'n wagon, love the Sandman.
