"other makes available". But seriously, if the price difference LPG/Petrol is the difference between affording to own one or not, then you probably can't afford to run a 260, or any comparable type of car, anyway. Or you doing 40k miles+ per year which makes it worse when things start to need replacing because they have reached there normal "sell by" date.
... plus converting any car to LPG ain't exactly that cheap. You need to do a whole bunch of miles just to win back that investment.
... plus you have the tank to think about and the space it needs
... plus the disgusting smell
etc.
Been that route and have no intention of ever revisiting it!
Idle thoughts ...

I only said Fiesta Diesel as they are plentiful and cheap.
Yes exactly on the LPG conversion, I have seen several Jensen owners go down this route and they end up spending £2k + for the conversion and then find they cant buy it locally as either they have run out or there is no local station. You also loose boot space and in a lot of cases cars don't run as well.
As I have said before on this forum is you have to factor in almost Zero depreciation, normally this is the biggest cost on a used car but as long as you keep a 260 in good condition and don't do 20k miles a year the chances are you can run one of these for several years and probably sell it for what you paid for it as long as you have paid the market price.
