Leyland P76 Owners of Queensland 2006

Clontaff Beach Scout Group

Wheels of the Century Automotive Show 2006

12th Nov, 2006

Hi everyone,
Beautiful day at the Redcliffe Show grounds.
Peter Foote and I had our P76 out on show. Peter's is the Nutmeg P
The Clontarf Beach Scouts Group must be pleased with this years attendance, especially the quality of the car, bikes and commercials that turned up. I was only disappointed by having to give a Drivers licience number to the organisers for Insurance. Giving away too much information.

Standing back, heard a lot of the usual comments, "fit a 44 gallon drum (200 ltrs) in the boot", "butt ugly car", but then a couple of people turned up knowing the plus’s of the P76 cars.
Got talking to one chap who came out with the following statement 'saw one of these cars in a wrecking yard in Ireland'. Had a good conversation with him.
As you will see from the photos we were surrounded by other beautiful car. Quite hot out in the sun standing around the cars, so setup a spot out of the sun under the tree were I am writing this article.

One display that took my interest was the home made Caravan, that was spacious inside. The EH that was pulling it was also well maintained.

While walking around the displays I got talking to an owner of a EJ sedan who says it only comes out of the shed on sunny days. Margaret tells me that she has not trouble getting it serviced as her husband does it.
Thanks Margaret for the info on your car.
Spoke to a Bus collector/owner here also, travels to the shows around Brisbane.
They also take none paying (club members) passenger when they travel about, maybe we could get their help if we needed transport to an outing.
