In the 1970s they were very popular in Banger/Destruction racing because they would just go through anything else and come out the other side with a few dents.

I agree. In Oz I bought a P4 in jurassic bone colour. We lived up past Newcastle in a typical Oz house. Garage and laundry under and the house built across the top in a T section. Teaching my wife to drive again after a period of no driving I gave her the wheel. All went well until we came down the drive far too fast and smacked one of the posts holding up the actual house. Later we discovered that the accommodation top part of the house had been knocked off true by about an inch. A bit sluggish but once wound up it could go.
