    You mentioned that the Leyland P76 was designed to carry a 44 Litre can in the boot. This is incorrect the P76 was designed to carry a 44 gallon drum in the boot which is about 110 litres.

    A little bit of wee just came out seeing the P76. A 44Gallon drum fits in the back. The family across the road had one. Sitting in the back was like being in a hall when you’re a grommet. There was that much room. Always envious of them heading off in it because Dad had little Japanese cars.

    As a former owner of both SAABs and Volvos, I appreciate that they are now showing up in classic car shows. Volvos are comfortable enough, but SAABs are truly some of the most comfortable long distance cars ever made. We once drove one of our 9-3s 1800kms up to James Bay in two days, including the 800km unpatrolled (you have to register when you enter the road) James Bay road in what was a memorable drive. We arrived in Radisson at the end of the road completely relaxed and without any fatigue after 7 hours driving at, humm, supra-legal speeds (because unpatrolled...) in complete comfort and serenity.

    Lucky enough to own a couple of NSU cars late in 1970. The most fun was a new 1200TT in bright orange! Its 4 cylinder 65hp ohc engine was a revving delight unlike most engines of the period. We kept a paving stone in the front boot to help out with the understeer! I think it cost £1000.

      @@cornishhh I never had the chance to drive one of those. The 1200TT was actually in the 1000cc body shell not the longer 1200 body. She sat stern down when empty and without a preload in the front the steering was over light and prone to understeer esp. in the wet. Still a great car though. Streets ahead of say a mini cooper at the time.

    If you open the glovebox of a P76, there are 4 round recesses for resting beer cans in (the standard Aussie 375ml ones), similar to the glovebox lids of EHs & HR Holden’s. However with the P76 the top of the cans click under the top ledge of the glovebox, so they don’t fall off when you go yahooing around a corner. Where as in regard those old Holdens, you had to grab them & put them between your legs before going around a corner, or they fall off.
    Oh the glories of the old days before random breath tests. I’m giving away my age now.

    The real story of the Targa Florio version of the Leyland P76 at 4:11 is not the near useless 44 gallon drum feature, but how well the Leyland P76 did in the 1974 World Cup Rally . Did this by leading stages of the rally until the Sahara Desert bad instructions by the organisers but still won the Targa Florio trophy for being fastest on that stage. All against some pretty exotic rally cars :

    Forgiven for missing so many cars. It would be impossible to see everything in one walk around.

    The least ugly P38. And still at best half a car. Australias biggest lemon until the ZB Opeldore.

      Never actually driven one have we.
      Compared to the Holdens, Fords and Chryslers of the time it was streets ahead .
      If the oil crisis had not happened and the car had continued to evolve it would have destroyed the big three.
      FWIW
      An example of how far behind holden was.
      The holden 3.8 v6 first introduced in 1988 is based on the Buick/ Rover/ Leyland p76 engine architecture .
