Hmmm, They were all 4V by the compliance plate. If you mean that it has proper 4V heads, then there wouldn't be many, if any, that came from the factory like that. It would be very hard to prove nowdays anyway that the heads are fatory original.
I'm also not real sure on the delete vinyl roof either, I can't see Ford putting the work into it to make it look presentable. Some more info and pics would be great. Cheers, Dave. |

There is a chap here with one or two deep Ivy Landau's actually
Very nice looking colour especially with contrasting trim. I actually would prefer that car with a vinyl roof, but thats just me! |

Not so sure about deleting the vinyl roof - as Dave said I didnt think this would be something Ford would have done from factory given the relatively untidy way they put on the rear side window filler plate? I thought this was the reason they made them all have the vinyl roof's same as the P5 LTD because of the messy bits on the roof that they hide from sight?
I know two guys with 1973 Landau's - so one of the very first ones made - and they swear they came out with 4V 351 engines... not sure if this is true or not? cheers Lisa

It will be a 4V engine, all the T code engines where called 4V from the factory. The earlier T code 4V engines though had 4V big port heads, they will be marked on the heads. The later XB onwards 4V engines just had the normal 2V small port heads and a 4 barrel carb, they where still called a 4V engine by the factory.
Even if the car in question has the big port 4V heads, it is no guarantee that it had them when it left the factory, there is not really any way to prove or disprove it either. I guess the vinyl could have been removed at the dealer, but there is a lot of work involved, would have been expensive I reckon. They are all classics and are the pinnacle of the Grand Tourers released by Ford. : Cheers, Dave. |

Please find attached a couple of images of my Landau.
I have finally registered it after doing some tidy up work - new shocks, new tyres, rebuilt carby, engine bearings, window washers and heater valve. It drives very nice and draws attention whenever I drive it. It was purchased early in the year and the details have already been posted by previous owner, but here they are again to save everyone looking and asking. JG70PJ90698K Build Date 5/74 Eng T Trans B Trim S Paint 3 Brown twill Radio/cassette It is not perfect, but it is very original, nil accidents, minimal rust and has great character. I have no intention of restoring it. John Last edited by xmcoupe; 13-11-2011 at 10:40 PM. |

Hi Sydneysteve,
Congrats on your purchase and welcome to the Forums. That looked to be a very nice original Landau. I was watching that car but unfortunately, just didn't have that kind of money at the moment. It wasn't too far from me as well. What are your plans for it? I think it would be nice to leave original. It's a great colour. Any chance of posting up some pics for us to see? |

You need another 6 inches of rubber on the back. Apart from that it looks damn nice. Great colour combo too with the blue vinyl roof, I like it.

Looks great .... and very original. 78 was the number for blue vinyl so would be original colour at a guess
 Great Landau!Only other 'funny' other things .... someone stole your hubcaps and there is a strange Taswegian walking in the middle of no where. Apart from that, everything else seems way too normal, down to the original filler cap and single exhaust | [/url] |

Don't know if this is any help, but today at 4.10pm in SA, I got petrol at the castle plaza caltex and there was a landau parked a few spaces from the servo entrance. It was in very tired condition but nonetheless;a landau. Very light blue with a dark coloured vinyl roof. I'll try and see who owns it so as to get them on the register. It also has what I believe to be original plates, as they are quite old and worn. If the person is an owner here, then disregard. If not I'll do my best.
