    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.

    Thanks - that's quite a low VIN number out of 883 considering it's such a late model - hope it didn't sit in a field too long before being registered?
