Leyland Australia's win. Quality control was crap but the car offered innovative features and showed up the other makers on how far they fell short of European practice. Is it coincidence that the XD Falcon with it's weight saving features, started development the same year the lightweight large car from Leyland made it's debut?
We'll never know the true extent to which this much maligned car influenced the course of Aussie motoring history.


Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
