Ultra-rare Aussie coupe
If you were a collector of Australian hero cars, with a taste for something rare, a Leyland P76 Force 7V coupe would have to be very high on your shopping list.
Just 10 of the big V8-powered machines are believed to have survived.
In a feature on the Force 7 and its rivals we noted: “By combining the front of the P76 sedan’s floorpan with the rear of the wagon, no coupe rival could match its long-distance comfort for all occupants with such generous luggage capacity, a fold-down rear seat and liftback access.
“Leyland aimed the Force 7V at the top Aussie V8 coupes, but its Trans-Atlantic style and dynamics were far more European. Given it didn’t dictate a second car, it had every chance of succeeding.”
This example has a little over 101,000km on the odo and is running the factory 4.4lt alloy V8 with auto. It’s said to come with good documentation.
Located in Gippsland, Victoria, it’s on the market at $250,000.
