The P76 was Leyland Australia’s attempt to build a full-size family to compete with the local Holden, Ford and Chryslers that were dominating the market. Designed in the early 1970s by Italian designer Giovanni Michelottithe, it was Billed as “Anything but average”. The P76 boasted leading features like power-assisted front disc brakes on all models, rack and pinion steering, MacPherson strut front suspension and a bonded windscreen with concealed wipers. Under the bonnet Leyland offered a choice of two engines, starting with an enlarged 2623cc version of the straight six found in the and Tasman, supplemented by an alloy V8 displacing 4416cc. Three trim levels were offered the Deluxe, Super and Executive. Alongside the Deluxe and Super models, Leyland introduced the more luxurious Executive model, loaded with many extra features. Taking out Wheels magazine’s coveted of the Year award, the P76 won praise for its class leading size boot, remarkably rigid body and performance. Leyland turned to motor sport in an effort to boost sales, entering the P76 in the 1974 World Cup Rally and it won the Targa Florio stage, finishing a very creditable 13th overall. As a result, a limited edition model was named after the Sicilian mountain, the Targa Florio. Production of the P76 ceased when Leyland closed the Zetland factory in October 1974, although CKD variants continued on in New Zealand for a couple more years. Just over 18,000 P76s were made and the model enjoys a loyal following today, with plenty of support from local clubs and specialists. 1 CLUB RUNS FIRST SUNDAY OF THE MONTH Remuce Café Breakfast Run - 10am meeting at Remuce Café, 2680 Frankston-Flinders Road, Bittern (On the corner of Daly Street).

(We urgently need a person to volunteer to co-ordinate the final details for this event. Most of the ideas for outings, and info on surrounding attractions have already been documented and brochures obtained by Len, Glenda and Eric!) CLUB NEWSFLASH

• AGM SUNDAY 14th MARCH — See above for event details. Covid safe practices will apply to all Members and we ask for your co-operation in maintaining Covid protocol. If you want to make any input to your Club or vote on committee nominations ...…today is the day! Should the ever changing Covid situation cause need to change or cancel this day...we will notify you all via email. The limits etc of certain venues are an ever changing law at the moment. We will monitor this closer to the event and should there be any changes in Covid restrictions that may require us to change or cancel this day, we will notify you all via email.

• The Church has advised David today (19/02/2021) that we are able to start using the hall again, albeit with a list of restrictions that are now in place due to Covid. Committee discussed this at our Committee meeting to- night and we will have to decide if this will be feasible as it effects our group size allowed. When this has been confirmed, we will update you when General Meetings will re-commence and where we will be having them! ….Stay tuned for one of my “Urgent” email messages! 2 • We received a lovely “Thank You” note from the family of Pauline Standing. Pauline’s family would like to thank MPHVC Members for their kind messages following her recent passing. The Family are grateful for the friendships and enjoyment that Pauline had whilst being a Member with MPHVC.

• At a recent Breakfast run a Member passed on a great suggestion that had been discussed between a few Members. They wanted to know if we could pass on just the “Urgent” emails via a mobile text message to those without email, as they were missing out! It has become necessary over the past 10 months, due mainly to Covid, to contact Members with urgent information that could not wait until the next Sidelights magazine came out. Events such as cancelled runs and meetings, passing of beloved Members, funeral notices, important info from Vic Roads re our during lockdown, etc etc. Never before have we realized the importance of being able to contact our Members, nor Members realize how much they have wanted to hear certain news! We know that we have a lot of members that do not wish to give out their email address for personal reasons or simply because they still want to get a hard copy of the Sidelights newsletter. (Of the 104 members we still post out paper copies to approximately 40 members) …. But, if you would like to be included on the Members email list to receive these “Urgent” emails, and still get a paper copy of Sidelights, that is fine ..… Noelene will still continue to mail your hard copy. Please email details of your email address and we will add you. [email protected] (Emails that are sent to members are BCC, so no email addresses of other Members are visible). Upon discussion at our last Committee Meeting it was agreed that Dawn’s work load as editor is already full with doing Sidelights magazine, all email correspondence and managing the MPHVC Facebook page. So… if any Member would like to volunteer for this task, to set up this communication channel on their mobile, please speak to a Committee Member. The following information has been received in the AOMC office from VicRoads regarding updates to a range of Vehicle Standards Information Sheets (VSI’s). The one that is relevant to our membership is VSI-33 which deals with modifications to vehicles operating under the Club Permit Scheme. Several Clubs may have received this information directly, but we are ensuring that every club is aware and has the opportunity to provide feedback. To Whom It May Concern Vehicle Standards Information (VSIs) sheets for review and feedback. All vehicles in Victoria need to comply with specific standards to ensure that drivers and passengers are provided with a minimum level of safety. A modified vehicle must not be used on a road or road related area unless the modification has been approved by VicRoads or carried out in accordance with guidelines published by VicRoads. The Vehicle Standards Infor- mation (VSI) sheets provide this guidance by outlining vehicle standards and modification requirements for light vehicles. The Department of Transport (DoT) has made updates to several VSIs. The updates directly support DoTs continued focus on safety and will ensure road users in Victoria are safer than ever before.

There are six VSIs open for consultation: • VSI 1 Bull Bars • VSI 5 Conversion of Vehicles to Motor Homes • VSI 6 Requirements for A – Frame Towing of Vehicles • VSI 8 Guide to Modifications for Motor Vehicles • VSI 26 Roadworthiness Requirements • VSI 33 Guidelines for Modifications to Vehicles Operated Under Victoria's Club Permit Scheme There are six VSI feedback forms, one for each VSI, please use the feedback form for each VSI if you would like to provide feedback and send back via return email by COB Friday 5 March 2021. Please note that the attached VSIs are draft only and may change as a result of stakeholder feedback. All feedback received as part of the consultation process with be considered in the development of the final VSIs. If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact the Safer Vehicles team via [email protected] Thank you - Safer Vehicles and Future Vehicle Technology . 3 LAST SUNDAY OF THE MONTH CLUB RUN Our end of the month run for January turned out to be good, weather wise. Arriving early in my 1937 Pontiac at the Baxter Tavern, I thought I might be on my own, but no, soon this nice looking FJ Holden turned up, with Alan Saunders at the wheel. Marion and Lorna arrived shortly after, in a modern. I believe Lorna’s FJ was still at home with ‘covid’ symptoms …… that is a flat battery! Brian Crocker in his Honda Civic and Jim and Margaret in their Holden were the final Members to arrive. Brian and Alan headed off to the Tyabb Packing Sheds, while the rest of the group went to the Griffin’s residents for tea and coffee and to check out the sheds. Late arrivals were Bernie and Leonie in their stunning Ford Cobra. A good day was had by all. RAY GRIFFIN. (Thank you Margaret and Ray for your hospitality!)

Hi Everyone!! A quick note on…… WINDSCREENS AND WIPERS New Screens and new wipers are expensive enough on pre 1990 vehicles. Anyone contem- plating a NEW car should be aware that many new commonly available cars, as well as high- end expensive cars, are often fitted with Computer-connected Rain Sensitive and Glare Adjustable Wind Screens, plus other Control Systems that need to look through your Screen, ranging from around a $1,000 to $5,000 plus ! Wiper Blades are becoming up to 10 times dearer than pre 1990's models too!

In a nutshell, keep your Screen and Wiper blades CLEAN every chance you get. Being human, most wont do this till it hits their "pocket". Most important: carry an OUTER Screen Cover for days you cant find shade; even for our old Classics. Even a plain white cotton sheet is 100% better than nothing. The sun also damages LIGHT LENSES, plus screen rubbers, all vehicle interior, and all paint.

**** SHADE IS YOUR BEST FRIEND **** The more you care the longer your car will last while looking good. I cannot stress enough, the damage caused over time, to your whole car, including front laminated screen, wipers, dash top and all instruments and controls getting "cooked" with the sun bearing down, and magnified by up to 20 degrees more inside the car, than outside. This preventative care applies to any vehicle, new or old.

Bye for now…. Bernie Valentini. (VACC SMM, Vic Roads Examiner)

FEDERATION VETERAN VINTAGE CLASSIC CLUBS 6TH FEBRUARY 2021 ZOOM MEETING. PRESIDENTS UPDATE

Hello to all Delegates and Club representatives, I hope that you and your families are all keeping well during these times and you all had an enjoyable Christmas. During this meeting are the following matters discussed.:

1. Thank you to all Delegates who joined in last meeting by Zoom and to those who took up positions on Federation Committee.

2. Thank you to the few Clubs that responded with their thoughts and ideas on the CPS scheme as it is today and how it should look into the future. DOT are now working on their submission to the Govern- ment. Their ideas will be available for comment sometime in March 2021. How that will come to clubs for their chance for input is unknown to Federation at this time.

3. The AHMF Festival to Albury and Wodonga 2020 that was cancelled. There were a number of hats, shirts, bags etc that were printed ready to sell during the event . Those have now been donated by the AHMF to the Robert Shannon Trust Committee. If you wish to obtain one or more of the items then John Kennett has it set up as follows: Please provide the link as follows, www.ahmf.org.au/2020 tour/ regalia. That will take all to the list in glorious color of each of the items available with prices and the option of purchase and payment on-line. We then get an e-mail advising of the purchase and payment and can dispatch accordingly.

4. Our 2021 Picnic events. Wunghnu 27 & 28 March -= This event has been cancelled Mortlake 28 March Scoresby and the date is to be set as yet Bendigo to Castlemaine event 28th August Marong Picnic 29th August Golden Oldies to start from Marong Picnic Baw Baw 31st October Bendigo Swap 13th and 14th November. All the above events are subject to change or cancellation though as we must comply with Government directions.

5. Bendigo Swap and we have commenced negotiations with the Bendigo Agricultural Show Society for a further 5 year lease use of the grounds for the Swap. We have asked what new requirements will be in place for the safety of those attending due to COVID. We have asked what works will be undertaken at the ticket boxes to protect the workers inside those boxes. We have asked what works will be under- taken in the surrounding streets so as people can que 1.5 meters apart along the footpaths. We are also in discussions re improved technology at the ticket boxes so as we can register people coming on site. It is our understanding that admittance tickets will have to be presold and names and addresses of those attending obtained. However we remain concerned that we may well do everything that is re- quired to run an event of this size and then to be shut down within hours of the event due to COVID breakouts throughout the country. We also have the added concern that there will be a live band con- cert with Jimmy Barnes as the lead performer on that Saturday night in Bendigo. Accommodation will be hard to find and many visitors mingling at eateries from both events may cause further COVID con- cerns.

6. FIVA and thank you Andrew for providing details to go out so as all members can join in with the review that FIVA is conducting world wide. There may be an update available for the meeting from FIVA.

7. RACV Sponsorship – We have held an on line meeting with Executives from RACV and they are getting organized to continue to look at events to be major sponsors of. Once they have a fresh application form we will ask for Sponsorship assistance with the Golden Oldies tour.

8. Insurance Cover- The clubs that were covered under Jardine Lloyd Thompson and you will have re- ceived a renewal from Marsh Insurance Brokers. If you have not received the renewal then please make contact with me. The cover is about the same as is was before with more requirements for COVID reasons. Charges have not increased all that much.

MATTERS FROM DELEGATES: Delegates to raise during the meeting or advise them to the Committee prior to. [email protected]

Thank you …. Neil Athorn. 6 COUPLE PAID $100 FOR A STORAGE UNIT IN AUCTION THAT CONTAINED AN ABANDONED CAR …. THEN SOLD IT TO ELON MUSK FOR NEARLY $1 MILLION In 1989, a couple from Long Island, New York paid roughly $100 for an unclaimed storage unit. It was a blind auction, meaning neither they nor the seller had any idea what was inside. When the couple opened the unit, they were in for what would likely be the surprise of their lives: Buried under some old blankets sat a 1976 Lotus Esprit used in the filming of the 1977 James Bond film “The Spy Who Loved Me.” In the movie, the sports car famously transforms into a submarine and fires missiles while underwater. The sports car, one of eight used in the filming of the Roger Moore Bond movie, but the only one that operated in underwater scenes, had been put in the storage unit after filming and remained there, forgotten for more than a decade until the New York couple (who have remained anonymous) came along. At first, “they really didn’t know what it was,” Doug Redenius, co-founder of the Ian Fleming Foundation, which authenticated the car, told NBC News in 2013 of the couple, who ran a business renting construction tools. They had never even seen a Bond film. “They had no idea how valuable their discovery was.”

The husband had planned on fixing the sports car’s dented roof and making other improvements. But after they loaded the car onto a truck and set off for home, truckers contacted them via CB radio to let them know they were hauling a James Bond car, according to Redenius. The husband later “went out and rented the movie on VHS and saw what he had,” Redenius told NBC. After the couple “cosmetically restored” the vehicle, they displayed it in occasional exhibits over the next two decades before deciding to put it up for auction in 2013. Redenius added in the 2013 interview that he had heard about the car’s existence years after the couple started exhibiting it, and he sought them out. He then authenticated the car with the original builders and put the couple in touch with Auctioneers RM Sotheby’s, telling the couple before the auction that … “If the car sells for what we’re hoping, that money will give you an opportuni- ty to live very comfortably for the rest of your life.’” Enter Elon Musk. The Lotus sold at auction at RM Sotheby’s in 2013 to a secret buyer. It was later revealed that the new owner was Musk, and he reportedly paid $997,000 for the car. Musk said he’d grown up watching the Bond movie…… “It was amazing as a little kid in South Africa to watch James Bond in ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’ drive his Lotus Esprit off a pier, press a button and have it transform into a submarine underwater. “I was disappointed to learn that it can’t actually transform. What I’m going to do is upgrade it with a Tesla electric powertrain and try to make it transform for real,” Musk told the auto blog Jalopnik in a statement in 2013.

To originally equip the Lotus for the movie, a marine engineering firm converted it into a functional submarine at a cost of more than $100,000 (the equivalent of nearly $425,000 today). Nicknamed “Wet Nellie,” the car was used for underwater scenes, so when it sold in 2013 it had no wheels, only “articulated fins.” It also couldn’t drive on land, but it did actually work as a submarine, with ballast tanks to make diving possible. The car also featured “a bank of four propellers” in the back of the vehicle that let it move underwater while being powered by electric motors in a water-tight compartment.

During filming, the underwater scenes were performed by a retired U.S. Navy SEAL wearing full scuba gear with an oxygen tank, as the car’s interior was filled with water, according to Sotheby’s. Musk has said that the car served as part of the inspiration for Tesla’s new Cybertruck. In fact, the billionaire CEO has even teased the Cybertruck by tweeting that the vehicle “will even float for awhile” after fielding a question about how the Cybertruck will handle driving through shallow water.

It was the final year of the “tri-five” Chevys and to many, the most attractive. The classic fins reached their largest on this model and the Bel Air Trim, especially convertible models, were the swankiest. The top engine was a fuel injected V8 with 283 hp making the ’57 qualify as a muscle car before the term existed. The rarest? .. A ’57 Nomad wagon. Less than 7,000 were built.

Second generation (1955–1957) The is a car that was introduced by Chevrolet in September 1956 for the 1957 model year. It was available in three series models: the upscale Bel Air, the mid-range Two- Ten, and the One-Fifty. A two-door , the Nomad, was produced as a Bel Air model. An upscale trim option called the Delray was available for Two-Ten 2-door sedans. It is a popular and sought after classic car. These vehicles are often restored to their original condition and sometimes modified. The car's image has been frequently used in toys, graphics, music, movies, and television. The '57 Chevy, as it is often known, is an auto icon. History Initially, executives wanted an entirely new car for 1957, but production delays necessitated the 1955–56 design for one more year. Ed Cole, chief engineer for Chevrolet, dictated a series of changes that significantly increased the cost of the car. These changes included a new dashboard, sealed cowl, and the relocation of air ducts to the headlight pods, which resulted in the distinctive chrome headlight that helped make the '57 Chevrolet a classic. Fourteen-inch wheels replaced the fif- teen-inch wheels from previous years to give the car a lower stance, and a wide grille was used to give the car a wider look from the front. The now famous '57 Chevrolet tailfins were designed to duplicate the wide look in the rear. Bel Air models, though maintaining the same chassis, powertrains, and body, were given upscale gold trim: the mesh grille insert and front fender chevrons, as well as the "Chevrolet" script on the hood and trunk, were all rendered in anodized gold. The 1957 did not have an oil pressure gauge or a voltme- ter. The base engine was an inline 6-cylinder called the Blue Flame Six. The engine was smoother running than the V-8. Car- buretion came from a single one-barrel carburetor. Unlike most competitors, the Chevrolet 4-door featured a reinforced rear roof structure that gave the car added rigidity and a unique appearance in silhouette. The 1957 Chevrolet was called by some a "Baby Cadillac", because of many styling cues similar to Cadillacs of the time. V8-optioned cars got a large "V" under the Chevrolet script on the hood and trunk lid; the "V: was gold for the Bel Air trim level, and silver-colored chrome for the 210 and 150 trim levels. The 2-door Bel Air Nomad station wagon had its own distinctive styling, mainly in the roof line and rear deck. Hope you enjoy this journey of the most popular cars produced from 1918 to 2000. Follow the progress of the automobile in its evolution throughout upcoming editions of Sidelights.

(Info and pictures obtained from https://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/g23320934/car8 -history/ and Wikipedia) We hope you have enjoyed this restoration story which appeared in 'The Colonial' journal of the Canberra Antique & Classic Motor Club (CACMA). One of our Members sought & obtained permission from CACMA editor, Helen Phillips & Secretary, David Fox (the article author) to reproduce the article in our Club magazine. The article not only describes the restoration, but also gives excellent suggestions about keeping all the bits & pieces to- gether! Restoration of Leyland P76 ….. 1973 Executive – Part 3 The Interior The floor was covered in acoustic deadening sheeting including underneath the dash panels and over the gear selector housing. All unnecessary holes in the sills etc were also covered to prevent water / dust ingress. I then used a car acoustic underlay and finally a new carpet set.

The seats were sun damaged and worn and required a complete restoration. The seat bases and Pirelli straps were able to be reused but new foam was added. I had purchased the last Casino Blue Executive cloth and had some Casino Blue Vinyl so was able to have all seats restored to their original grandeur. NOS seatbelts were fitted next. All the original sound insulation from the boot was cleaned and reglued in place. The original spare wheel cover was also cleaned along with all the original tools, the dash, glovebox, dash-pad and radio were the next components to face restoration and installation. Luckily all components were in good condition as the car had been garaged most of its life. The Wood Grain had lifted and shrunk over 40 years but was in good condition. The only exception was the wood- grain around the Transmission lever which needed replacement.

9 After 40 years the woodgrain material is brittle so requires very careful handling. I used a heatgun on low settings to restore some pliability to the material. Judicious use of glue and some spring clamps have given an original finish. I had searched for years for woodgrain material that looked the same as the original and eventu- ally found some that is slightly lighter but similar thickness and pattern. I used some of this material to redo the console for the Transmission lever. I used a NOS Radio and speaker and radio surround to complete the centre dash. The original instruments were in good order so I cleaned them and replaced some globes. I used NOS Light and window wiper switches to complete the instrument panel. Some repairs were re- quired for the dash wiring and the Kopex tubing on the heating and demisting ducting. All in all the final pieces came together with relative ease. I was very happy with the final finish! ...
