1974 Leyland P76 Super review from Australia and New Zealand
"Under rated Australian Classic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The original Automatic gearbox lost all of the forward gears after doing a sequence of monster burnouts in it.
It ran quite hot when in heavy traffic until I had a decent 3 core radiator fitted.
Front drivers side wheel collapsed due to the wheel bearings seizing.
General comments?
The car was purchased for $400 and has provided me with a lot of enjoyment at a tiny price.
I have never lost a street race in the car despite having some very exotic and powerful machinery having a crack at it.
The car has one the respect of my friends who laughed at me when seeing the car for the first time. It is now the preferred mode of transport for Saturday night cruising.
