If I had £850 right now I would SNAP this up
There was a red lpg 240 sold on Ebay recently and the seller attached a link to a vid on Utube of him getting in the car, starting it and driving it. He even opened the bonnet and put his hand on the manifold to show it was starting from cold. I did enjoy such a mundane vid, lol...

But why would you want to convert it back to petrol . If thats what you decided to do , im also pretty sure that the two lpg tanks and mixer units could be sold on the second hand market for at least £500 . |

stigster your tempt me sorely...let me have a think about this as my 'fleet' is quite large just now forgive me whilst I think aloud here
At the moment we have the following: 1997 940 Sport Estate - the maroon one with the anthracite alloys - cracking car ans my pride and joy 1978 Citroen CX Gti - a deeply flawed and potentially very costly love affair 1973 Daf 44 - "mona" who I sold earlier this year but have bought back because she is such a hoot and will be part of a larger project I've just offloaded a 1978 Scimitar and a 1978 Maxi your 240 looks fantastic especially with the LPG - it was my idea last year to buy a 240 saloon and get Mike to LPG it - the problem was that I couldn't find a sound enough GLT at the time so I bought the 940 estate let me sleep on this - if I decide to sell the CX GTi I will buy your car - I need to mull it over and engage the head over the heart |

you are of course right Paul
The CX was not invented by rational people and is not to be approached in a rational way. They are getting rare now especially good untrashed ones (like mine) but the complexity of the bodywork let alone the mechanics - DIRAV steering ffs -wonderful spaceship stuff but I shudder at a repair bill should it fail. Nevertheless the car is a wonder to drive - they say for the 1st 10 minutes you never want to drive it again and after hte first 10 minutes you never want to drive anything else again. Funnily enough I think the thing that will finally result in me sellin this prefered transport for african dictators of the 70's (3 cheers to Citroen's export department and lack of morality!) will be the lack of lumbar support in the driver's seat which is funny because in all other aspects it is a very comfortable car - I feel like I am sitting on top of the seat rather than being cosseted by it as I am in my 940. The Daf costs pennies to run - literally and is a well built solid little car the vast majority of jobs, including the Variomatic transmission a semi half witted mechanic can sort in a day - it really isn't that complicated and a hell of a lot more simple than rebuilding a conventional auto box (or manual for that matter) The 940 is the flaship and I budget £1k a year to run her and keep herin full fettle The CX however is unknown - other than it needs a specialist mechanic and the parts, whilst plentiful are not cheap as there are just about no generic parts whatsoever for such a quirky car. anyway Stig and I are in talks and this won't happen anytime soon but it does make a lot of sense (well, actually, the sensible thing to do would be to get rid of all but my 940 and buiy the wife a Golf Tdi but sensible is boring ain't it?" |
