On a wet Canberra morning over 100 people gathered in the carpark opposite Lakeside Rydges Hotel before setting out on a run to Gundaroo, via Honeysuckle Creek and Tidbinbilla. This replicates the Press Run from 1973 when Leyland introduced the car to the motoring media.
The only Leyland P76 Station Wagon. Driven down from Sydney on Friday night, I don't think it has ever been in the rain before!
Event Marshall Andrew Griffith from the NSW P76 Club, addresses the rally participants with instructions and last minute pointers, minutes before setting off. David Lee from the ACT Club is in the lead car.
Honeysuckle Creek - Stop One! The Leyland P76 Wagon had some points issues and the party broke into two groups after this.
Leylands in Cork St Gundaroo NSW. Over 50 cars and many hungry Leyland fanciers in the Community Hall chowing down on a lovely BBQ put on by the Gundaroo RFS. Many thanks to the warm and friendly people in Gundaroo.
Two Force &'s and Tony de Lucas V8 Super - the only car attending the event that was at the original 1973 press launch. Fortunately the rain had moved on and people could wander around peering under bonnets etc.
Thanks to Adrian Spencer and Mick Le Coq for the photos.
Tony De Lucas white V8 is an Executive, but a great day. Good job Drew Griffith.
