Aussie Muscle!

Never heard of that let alone seen a pic, the front end is really cool, not the rear so much, like half muscle, half hatch

The coupes were super rare, most people don't even know about them, the sedans were reasonably rare even as I was growing up, and they were launched in 1973. They came with either a 2.6L I6 (121hp) or a 4.4L V8 (192hp) that was developed from the old Buick V8 that also became the 3500 V8 in Rovers in the UK, this included the original Range Rover. The main claim to fame for the sedan, that I remember, was that you could fit a 44 gallon drum in the trunk. There are still car clubs around just for the old guys that love them.

Here's some Aussie Muscle we haven't posted about, a rare Leland V8 coupe is on the market for $250k, tell them they're dreaming.

Ah, and the memories come flooding back, British Leyland, Triumph TR8's, aluminum ex-Buick engines...

From memory reading about them a while back, they were nice looking cars at the time, had good engines and drove pretty good. But the build quality was atrocious, even more so than the home-grown Holden's, Ford's and Valiants. In fact, the name P76 was for the longest time was the byword for LEMON.

Don't forget Lucas, (God of Darkness). And oil leaks.
