Thread: Leyland P38 - Half the car they should have been

8)ok i have to admit i had a lemon also.
one of the best cars ever, in those years, in aussie produced autos.
mine was nv green, v8 manual.
strong as engine, went to 5000+ rpm and loved it.
the boot - well what can you say - it could hold more grog than the average country pub - i know as for our wedding i supplied the grog, its just amazing how much we got in it.
i actually drove the first one registered in victoria when it was less than a week old, we took it to a bbq at stieglitz and got it stuck driving over some high grass.
would love to have another, but we have to live with reality, and who wants another 1973 car, we have a 73 benz, and its enough.

My mum had a series one A1800, and I learnt to drive in it, top car!

There's are P76 Force 7 cruising around here, still looks the goods; A mate, Roger, has a P76 V8 sedan, which he long ago took the gas axe to, and looks mighty as a rag(less) top.. he's never got around to getting a roof for it....

Pity the P76 fell over, it was a great car....once fixed.....

What a beautiful sight

There's a bloke just out of Eudunda in SA with a front paddock full of land-crabs. Must have 15 or more of them along with an assortment of other Austin/Morris/BMC/Leyland product.
Don't think he's doing anything with them, but they do seem to be breeding. There's more there every time I go past. (Must be good country)

Maybe we should run a sticky permanent for Leyland product; and today a bloke ten houses up, just took delivery of a Moke, restored or rrebuillt, looks great.

Our news agent uses a very original Mini S with the drivers sliding window removed to deliver the papers, flung out said missing window.

Loved my Triumph 2500PI, but I don't want another one........
