- Iconic Holden Sandman to be launched 4th April in Torquay, Victoria, in line with the Bells Beach Ripcurl Pro surf
competition
- To celebrate the launch, Holden interactive surf live site at Elephant Walk Reserve, Torquay will feature a live
screen beaming out classic surf reels, music, car display and beach side games
- New Holden Sandman available in Ute and Sportwagon – on sale in June
Eating up the road and shredding the surf, the Holden Sandman has become an Aussie icon in the 40 years since the
original legend made its debut in 1974. Now it’s back, with a modern twist and nose for performance.
The 2015 Sandman Special Edition is derived from the VF Commodore SV6 and the sporty SS-V, and will be available as a
ute and or Sportwagon. Whilst the Sandman is much more advanced than its predecessor it still retains the instantly
recognisable surf livery and the groovy, orange shagpile floor rug as an additional accessory.
Holden’s Executive Director of Sales, Peter Keley, said the opportunity to revive the legendary Sandman was too
exciting to resist.
“The Holden Sandman has been synonymous with the great Australian surf safari for decades and perfectly reflects
our country’s laid back, yet adventurous attitude to life. When the opportunity came to revive Sandman, we jumped at
it,” Mr Keley said.
“The reborn Sandman is a statement and reflection of the Australian way of life. Most importantly, it’s about
having fun.”
Originally launched in a time when cassette players were all the rage, the Sandman personifies Australian culture
with its unique styling and adventurous attitude.
Sandman will have its first public display on the sands of Torquay, giving beach goers and car lovers the chance to
get up close and reminisce about days gone by … and days to come.
The Holden Sandman surf live site will take place on Saturday 4th April from 11am – 4pm at Elephant Walk Reserve,
Torquay Esplanade, and will feature a live screen beaming out classic surf reels, chilled out tunes, sausage sizzle and
beach side games. The Sandman live site is an interactive display that allows people to take a picture with the cars.
Holden’s Director of Communications, Sean Poppitt said the interactive live site is the perfect platform for a car
that is sure to evoke old memories and make new ones.
“The interactive live site at Torquay is the perfect opportunity for people to come and see Sandman whilst enjoying
the surfing, food and great atmosphere. The Sandman is the reincarnation of an icon, born from the most iconic car
company in Australia,” said Mr Poppitt.
“Holden knows Australia and Australians better than any other company and the Sandman is a perfect reflection of
the Aussie culture and attitude. I’m sure it will spark great memories for a lot of Australians and help create new
memories for others. Let the good times roll again,”

Sandman was originally launched on the HQ series Holden in 1974 as a panel van and ute in a bid to increase Holden’s
presence and appeal in the expanding recreational market. What ensued was a car that captured the imagination of a
generation, and continued to be offered on the HJ Holden (1974-76), HX Holden (1976-77) and HZ Holden (1977).
After over twenty years in the darkness, Sandman was finally revived as a concept car at the Sydney Motor Show, 2000.
Based on VU Commodore, this Sandman was a Holden built, Mambo designed project that won wide acclaim.
The Sandman will go on sale in June.
