God they are ugly.
Thanks for the photos though, they make me realise that there is at least something in the world less attractive than myself.

I'd own a V8 p76, that Taxi one is from down here i believe, the Force 7 could of been such a nice looking car...

I've owned 2
I like them
And yes the Force 7 was a beauty... lots of history on them too .. for a car that was never supposed to exist or ever be road registered
I'd have another

Great pics, not often you see that many in one spot. May look a bit ugly, but they were probaly a little ahead of their time when released in 74/75.

I know you don't see a lot of P76's around in general, but that Force 7 would have to be a pretty rare car surely.

I have a mint condition Owners Manual for the Force 7 - bought off Leyland Australia when they shut down. They were far enough along in development to print the manuals, I believe there were about 50 Force 7's built all up.

A bloke I know from the Valiant world is also into P76's and Force 7's. This was from a recent thread on hemi6pack where they were being discussed:
1 green force 7 in sydney
1 orange force 7 sydney
1 yellow force 7 in sydney
1 brown force7 in adelaide { in birdwood museum}
1 orange force 7 in gippsland
1 green force 7 in greece
1 navy blue force 7 in new zealand
1 yellow force 7 in countrty victoria
1 white force 7 in perth
1 orange force 7 in perth
It looks like 8 in Australia, one across the ditch, and one in Greece. I'm guessing that is the one that went to the UK.

Thanks for posting the pics.
I never knew there were Force 7V's registered in OZ!
Looks like someone took a detour on the way to the crusher.

not the best looking car in the world, but there are a lot of worse shockers out there...not many, but some.
