This Might Be The One

Shame about tank in boot so only 1\ 2 a estate

I would not worry about the mileage. I think the nature of someone fitting a LPG system is that they will be using more than a Petrol version so if you average it out it is not much per annum.

The Engine in our car is great, if you look at it's longeverty of the car it was designed for in America you will see that properly serviced like this car appears to be it will run for many many miles will little issues.

I lot of the the small issues we have are manly to do with a car that was redesigned to fit the engine rather than the engine itself. The figure quoted for the LPG system seems right and so you are getting a vehicle with the work done for little money. Any changes as you know, you can make relatively easy so you can reto-fit over the next few years to make it an SE version

I have the BRC system on mine, fitted at 7000 miles and now at 115,000. if anything the engine gets better with age, Brian once told me that the engine will take about 85,000 miles to run in and he may be correct, when I was in the 90's it seemed to be noticeably smoother than before, and ever in the last couple of days with an additional 20,000 miles on it stills seems to be getting smoother.

seems a lot of car for not a lot of money, despite the inaccurate description

Would it fall into the higher car tax band still, despite being LPG?

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!!

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?

Oh!
Where would you suggest putting it, on the roof.
Yes it seems a very fair price with the seller doing 54000 miles in it.
Ask him how this was made up, if it was a lot of longish motorway travel then you should have no worries
I bought an LPG 260 , a saloon, earlier this year for a similar price with 49000 miles on the clock. Had to spend a bit on it, tyres, rear springs, changed rear exhaust boxes back to standard and a few other bits and pieces
IMHO if an LPG estate is what you want go for it, don't prat around put your money on the table TODAY
And no the seller is not my brother-in-law, uncle, cousin etc.
Good luck
