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
