        Comments:

        The first CIPSA version of the Sand Witch sold on eBay on February 14th, 2005. The paint colors of the CIPSA Sand Witch are different than normal HK production.
        The interior is a stark white color whereas the HK has a dark/black interior. The glass on the CIPSA version is different, as are the wheels.
