My excellent LPG 240
The car is absolutaly perfect and is offered only as a GLT 240 has come up for sale ! I am only willing to let this go to someone who will look after it WELL as I and the last owner have done .
In fact I urge anyone who is interested to come and look over it . Since owning the car I have renovated the paintwork as it was in poor condition and had a few scratches and also someone ran a ket down the drivers and passenger door . Has been given a full service recently oil , filter , air filter , plugs , dizzy cap , rotor arm and leads . Also the jetex exhaust was leaking from the manifold so a new gasket was sourced and fitted , and also the exhaust holder from the gearbox to downpipe was missing , that to has been replaced . Rear brake pads where rattling badly due to no anti rattle pins fitted , so a new fitting kit was sourced and fitted . 100% LPG conversion – original fuel tank replaced with LPG tank, further LPG tank fitted in boot. Professional conversion – certificate of installation / compliance present. . To fill the car it costs me here around £35 to which the car can then do 350 miles , price of LPG here is 46p a litre .

Even though the pictures of this car are nice and show the car off well, they don't actually do the car justice. I have seen this car in cold hard daylight and it is probably the best example that you are ever likely to see, let allone have the chance to own. I urge anybody who is thinking of buying one of these cars to make a point of viewing this one and I would say with some certainty that whoever views it first will buy it. I can assure you all that this car is well worth the money. I am a car salesman by trade and in over 20 years of doing my job, I can honnestly say that this is the best example I have seen in a long long time.
Good luck with the sale Micheal, Ian. |

Sounds like a bargain to me. With my 480 buggering about like it is right now & if I was in UK I'd buy without viewing! Oh also, if I had £850 to spare LOL.
That said I would defo' snap it up without a prior viewing, would'nt need one. Good luck, hope she goe's to someone who'll care for her soon
