They have included well-bodies and traybacks.
A station wagon was designed and produced by Leyland but never went into production and a two door coupe was also produced and ten known examples exist today.
I have never seen a Leyland P76 panel van though........

I actually have a wide taste and don't restrict myself to one marque.
But I do like it. :goodjob2:
Well that one has lots of Marques on it! :goodjob:

I mean some cars, that could be considered iconic due to "who drove"/"or what they were", that were actually used in a movie (occasionally models used in promotion of still shots, etc.) in near pristine condition have gone for less. Of course sometimes it comes down to how common the vehicle make/model (still is) and how exactly the specific specimen was used in the movie - long shots only? interior shots only? promotional? stunt 'double' vehicle (e.g. roll cage fitted during the filming - so isn't the 'one' on screen most of the time, etc.)?

They were originally introduced to get rid of left-over 2 door hardtop bodies at Ford's Geelong factory in Australia.
But they soon became a very sought after part of Ford Australia history.

I wouldn't be paying that for them - not unless I win big in lotto or figure out how to make my millions.

If I had the money, I would definitely be interested in a car like this!!

I'm not marque-specific either.
A nice car is a nice car, regardless of the badge.

I haven't forgotten that they needed servicing much more often than modern cars, they were usually less reliable, handling was pretty ordinary and they lacked protection in a crash...

I'm not really an old car fan... :undecided:What he sad.. and brakes are generally better now too...

I'm not really an old car fan... :undecided:I love the old and classic cars, any of the old Aussie muscle cars are great, servicing wasn't much different...usually every 5 or 10k oil changes depending on how you looked after them.

Servicing is far less expensive too and can mostly be done at home, handling and brakes aren't an issue as once the originals were worn out they were replaced with superior products, MSD and Flame Thrower electronic ignitions eliminated point/distributor issues and plug design/reliability have improved and even old cars can now run platinums.
