1973 CAR OF THE YEAR

PETER AND MICHAELA VENNING

This 1975 Leyland P76 DeLuxe V8 Column Auto in French Blue is in original condition. It was sold and delivered by Dominion Motors in Christchurch via Croziers Garage.

This P76 has been in the Venning family ever since. Originally it was the company vehicle for Peter, a computer company executive, for three years and then for his father Ned Venning, a P76 club member until 1999. On Ned's death the car moved to Auckland where Peter has recently been more involved in Club activities.

The car has travelled 189,000 Km's and has done many trips to the West Coast and around NZ. In it's early career it was a family ski car and would go up Mount Hutt ski road with the assistance of concrete block ballast in the considerable boot and with a gentle right foot.

This car, paintwork, engine and interior are all in the original delivered condition.
