Default 2 shed finds
Went to the family farm over Easter and popped in to see on one of my wife's old family friends. We had need to borrow a ladder and she took us to her garage . That'd be the first couple of photos. Seeing that I was keen with the camera, she asked me if I'd like to see her brother's car. That'd be the second couple of photos. The Landau is in excellent condition, 1976, one owner. I've put my name down..

Steve :-)

Love that Landau interior, the XB would go well with some TLC.

Well, as it happens, she is a very good friend. Julie remembers the owner of the Landau driving that around town when she was young.( he used to live next to my wife's grandmother ) The owner of the XB , to our knowledge, has another 3 cars in another shed in the town. Next trip we might get a key to that shed :-)

how much does he get to drive the landau, that will certainly turn heads. What does he run it on since they dont make leaded anymore?

Hi Rob..I would assume unleaded plus additive . Here;s a picture of the engine bay. NO LPG sticker on his license plate btw.
