    Hello Bernard, hello Klaus,

    thank you for your answers!

    As I have rather small feet I don't think that I would have any problem to find a place for my left foot. So that is something I really don't have to worry about - luckily ;-)

    Bernard, what mileage did your ZT 260 have when you've converted it to LPG? I worry about that it could be bad for the engine if it done too late.

    Klaus, chances are that are you from Germany too... And it seems you also drive an MG ZT 260. So it gives me wonder if you probably bought that MG ZT 260 from Bartzick in Witten. Did you?

    My size 45 feet get in the way all the time!

    52,0000 miles at conversion, just finished its running-in period really.

    The MG just has about 33.000 km now so a LPG conversation could be made according to your info. The Rover has a Prins LPG. Which LPG type would you recommend? I'm not entirely sure I would convert to LPG but in case I like to do this in the future it is good to have some advices already.

    There is no specific system that has been specially developed for this engine or any other as a matter of interest. Any other claim is just sales talk.

    Any well known sequential West European System that is supported by someone near to you should be OK. The rest have fallen by the wayside by now.

    Or if you are a keen home mechanic and like to look after your own car, make sure that you choose a system that you can get the software for it to be able to fine tune it if necessary. It's also useful and interesting for looking at what's going on anyway.

    I drove a Rover 220 Turbo Coupe for about 4 years. And I really miss that car by now
    I know how you feel- I had a VVC coupe, one of the last ones, in black with white leather- the chassis was a bit twisy but otherwise a superb timeless classic . I admit to shedding a tear when I sold it and the new owner drove away.

    at one time I would have said the ZT,but the 75 sounds like a good one

    I would choose the V8 75....then I'd have one of each.....Might have to sell the LPG 190 then though...

    Good morning
    Thank you for your tips.
    I would really buy both of them if I had some more spare money. At the moment I tend to the MG. But I still have time for some more thoughts until Tuesday.

    Bernhard, the v8 75 is the rarer of the two cars and no doubt the more comfortable on regular long journeys....but then the ZT is more fun....depends what you want really...

    at the end of the day, it has to be whichever one is best for you!
