Yes same as mine. it's still in the higher tax band although you do get a couple of quid back which might just get you a pie and a bag of crisps!!Originally Posted by colintf
Would it fall into the higher car tax band still, despite being LPG?

looks good, wont hang around long at all at that price for an estate.
The sticky drivers door lock could be annoying though, but probably an easy fix. mine does it on the passenger side but usually pops up after relocking and unlocking once or twice with teh remote.
I have BRC system also, fitted at 20k and now done 106k. I did have to have 5 of the 8 injectors replaced recently though as they got leaks.
Also, I think the regulator is tired on mine as no matter how much the lpg specialists I use try to set it up, I still drop power sometimes on full throttle like the lpg system cant suppky quite enough gas at full load. So check this out on your test drive compared to petrol running. They should feel similar.
66k is nothing. Go for it.

Thanks for all your advice - much appreciated - mileage is mainly longer runs, apparently, so that's ok.
Won't need much room in the boot , don't want to drag the mpg down
As for the wheels, yes, they look like the same 11 spokes I have on my 190 and the seats look like half leather half summit cloth, but are they definitely not Xenons headlights? - again, same as mine, which are.....anyway, going to see for myself later this week, so any more info gratefully received
Good point about uprating to SE spec afterwards - also, is it only Mk1s that don't have traction control, or would this also lack it, being a basic model?
Non-SE doesn't have TC, I have never found that an issue but on here I have heard those that have it tend to switch it off as it's annoying!
Does have LSD though that's all you need.
"Oh!
Where would you suggest putting it, on the roof."
well i would try and put it in the boot well same as my range rover !!!!
and reposition the battery
but if space is no issue then no problems
just seems a shame to have a part estate
also headlights our xenons you can see them in picture

Not sure about the xenons, hasnt it got the light height adjustment by the dasher dimmer, usually means no xenons?
Re the OP, if you are looking for an LPG XPG ZTT V8, err what are you waiting for exactly!!
Go for it - what you save on the fuel you'll need to spend on the road tax... ooh... shouldn't I have said that? Anyway, get it bought and spend a fortune on it, like the rest of us

very good price for an estate, even without lpg.
but manual rear windows I never saw on a V8 before

Non SE was basic spec, no electric rear windows as well as no everything else, SE had everything almost...
PS the weight saving is mainly in the sunroof or lack of, but a lot of non SEs had sunroofs as an extra...
I looked at a 260 before I got a 75 V8 and it had manual rear windows. So they are around. In my experience just stops the kids messing..... The guy who was selling the 260 said with it being basic there is a lot less to go wrong.
