The Leyland P76: It could have been great!

The Leyland P76 is regarded as the P38 by Aussies, because they jokingly reckon it was only half a car. But, over 40 years since the P76 was launched, what's it actually like? I tracked down a Deluxe V8 in 'Hairy Lime' to find out. A huge thanks to the Leyland P76 Community in Australia for their help with this, and also to that wonderful fact website https://aronline.co.uk

EDIT - this video contains one juicy error - 18007 P76s were built in Australia, 800 assembled in NZ. So production was far higher than the 8007 I say in the video. I lost a unit somewhere... I've also changed the title, having realised it was perhaps a bit harsh.

With a 4.4-litre version of the Rover V8, and underpinnings that are similar to the SD1, the P76 was a lesson in simplicity, but developed purely for the Australian market. It was therefore huge - a full six-seater with room in the boot for a 44-gallon drum.

Tracking one down was a MASSIVE moment for me and this was very much the Holy Grail of the trip. Did it disappoint? Watch and see!
