I bought mine about 7 years or so ago. Found it in the trading post and was endowed with a 'slight' rust problem. The reason I bought it? It was untouched and original having all badges and chrome.

 

It was also Statosphere Grey which is fairly rare. It took me a good few years of serious looking to find the Landau I would be happy with on a limited budget!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It took about 4 years of stuffing around and being ripped by unscrupulous people and me not knowing any better, finally had it completed by the

end of '06.

 

The car has always been registered, thats why its still have the black and whites. There is still a bit to do, mainly with the interior but at the

moment just trying to enjoy it as much as I can!
