  1. About the P76 at 15:17. Not that monstrous a V8, just based on the Rover V8 out taken out to 4.4 litres. They were also planning a bigger 5.0 litre V8 version and a 3.3 litre V6 to better serve Australian preference for six cylinder motors, especially fleets such as government who would not purchase a V8. The Australian market found the 2.6 litre E series straight six lacking in reliability and torque. The bigger V8s more of a hero car and if that was not enough a V12 version was talked about for the planned Bathurst race coupes. Just sold for a short time before Leyland Australia collapsed due to issues common the the UK Leyland.
