Queensland P76 Owners Club Inc. 2012

Pandarus V8

Phil Wamuran


Hello there.
I thought I would make contact as I have just purchased a car that might interest your members.
Firstly, I am already a member of the MG Car Club Qld as well as the Austin Healey Owners Club Queensland as I have related cars for both those clubs.
I am not looking at joining any more car clubs!! hahaha But, I thought that as this car has a Leyland 4.4 V8 as the donor engine it might give some interesting reading for your P76 owners.
I am getting more information about the car from the previous and original owner/builder who with his late father, built it from the ground up in about 1986.
A Victorian coach builder crash repairer built the bodies and at the moment that is all I know. More info is coming. Apparently 4 were built as kits all with 4.4 V8s as the powerplant.
5 speed Toyota steel gearbox, Toyota Crown chassis cut and shut and all Crown mechanicals.
I will be restoring it to pristine condition but hope to have it competing at a few hillclimbs while I am restoring it.
Hope you enjoy the pictures.
If you are interested in knowing more, I will get the specs together and more photos of the build and beyond that I am waiting on from the original owner
regards Phil Haskett

Hi Adrian.
I have not got any really good pics but will try to get some engine ones and chassis ones soon.
I have the builder and original owner ) well, his 43 year old son who helped built it ) sending me some more pics and info.
I'll send to you as it gets here.
You are welcome to drop over to give it a look over and lay out your opinion any time.
I live in Wamuran.
It's not going to be registered in the foreseeable future but will be one day.
Hope these give you an idea what other vehicles used your clubs engines apart from Morgans TVRs Terrier trucks etc.
She's fairly tatty really but has great potential to look very nice.
In fact I want to run her in the hillclimb series against a cobra that competes I think this Alloy V8 will bounce it well and truly.
Cheers for now, Phil
