Mark's '73 Ford Landau

Australian Fords are not common over here in the UK, despite their awesome V8 power and the benefits of being Right Hand Drive. Those that did make it here from down under back in the 1970's are increasingly rare and select breed. Generally overlooked by Classic car enthusiasts and the UK-American vehicle scene for years, many of these rare cars ended up in the unsympathetic hands of banger racers or just scrapped. The release of the "Mad Max" movies fortunately revived interest in the hand-full of surviving Aussie cars (most especially Ford Falcons) here but it has also meant that many surviving cars got snapped up by European collectors who discovered they didn't have to go all the way to Aus to find one to build their Mad Max Interceptor !

Mark Beale's '73 Ford Landau is a very rare and unusual car - especially is it is a coupe.  There are only two other Ford Landaus in the UK that Mark knows of. So if you own one of these rare cars let us know and we'll put you in contact!

This car has been in the UK from new and has a mere 52,000 miles on it. Powered by a powerful 351 Cleveland V8, this is a great example of Aussie Muscle and one you are not likely to miss if you see it on the road!
