Easy - that's an Australian Leyland P76 Force 7 Coupe: 4.4 litre V8 engine of Rover origins. |

Marioman is right. The Force 7 was supposed to be the sports version of the P76. The range was to include 6 cylinder and V8 cars, and a luxury version. The V8 version was the Force 7V. The only cars produced before Leyland closed its operations were 7Vs. Of the completed cars, all but 10 were crushed by Leyland, in order to increase their value when they were disposed of at auction. One car was sent to the Leyland Museum in England, the remaining nine sold at auction -- Last edit: 2008-10-14 00:07:12 |

From Wikipedia page on Leyland P76 - Unreleased P76 derivatives The Force 7 coupé was announced in 1974 but never offered for sale. There was to have been a base six-cylinder Force 7, a more powerful Force 7V with the V8 unit, and a range-topping Tour de Force. It was unusual in that it had a large rear hatchback. It shared few body panels with the sedan. At least one station wagon (estate car) prototype, which shared much of the sedan's structure and body panels but with more upright rear door frames, was also built. The Leyland plant at Zetland closed in October 1974, and production of the P76 ceased, although assembly continued in New Zealand, where it was sold successfully in V8 form, until 1976. Leyland Australia sold off eight Force 7 coupé prototypes to the public in an auction. Two other Force 7Vs have passed through the hands of a UK collector (one of which may have been sent to New Zealand), and one is at the National Motor Museum at Birdwood Mill in South Australia. |
