deankdx Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 about 20yrs ago i sold a set of 5 falcon wheels with tyres and a falcon LPG tank, and it all fit in the boot of the P76 the guy picked it up in, seeing 6(including p76 spare) full size wheels across the back was impressive enough, but the gas tank in normal position was the icing on the cake. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deankdx Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 is it a genuine Targa Florio, they had mag wheels that would be extinct even here in Australia i think. there used to be a guy that wrecked them in Melbourne about 20yrs ago(My Dad had a P76 V8 in his Mk1 Transit van, used to buy parts from him) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr.wylde Posted February 19, 2022 Author Share Posted February 19, 2022 Yes it is aspen greeen. At some point in its life it was repainted in a slightly lighter shade. As a result of acquiring the car ive ended up joining the NZ P76 club, they have given me a full history of the car dating back to the late 80's. Its been through a number of owners in its time but at some stage it languished in the elements of wellington for about 10 years until the people I bought it from brought it down south. And I bought it from them . Random thing is though given its history its only done 74000 ks from new. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
