a little thread drift.

I knew someone who worked for Leyland at the time and the P76 was a very similar disaster to the M3W. It and labour disputes forced the closure of Leyland Australia. The final straw, according to my friend, was when management announced to the workers that the company was in trouble and could not survive any more strikes. The unions said "You can't threaten us in that way" and promptly called a strike. Management responded by announcing the closure of the company. Probably inevitable but that is exactly what happened.

At the time I thought the Force 7 (which never entered production) was a great looking car. Amazing how one's taste changes with maturity.
