My excellent LPG 240

[Mike1967]

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.

[Mike1967]

Thanks Ian for your kind words .

It is a very special car isnt it , shame I have to sell it .

I do hope it goes to a good home and the new owner continues to look after it as I have .

[Mike1967]

Ok £850 and I will supply the car with a new MOT .But you will have tax it as it expires end of October .

This used to be my car - I sold her to Stig - one of the best 240's Ive owned and an absolute bargain at this price!

[rossmcf9]

Hi Ross unfortunatly the buyer pulled out due to personal reasons , obviously I didnt want to pry into why so a mutual agreement was made .

Im no chancer and many members here will clarify that !

[Paul240480]

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

[craig8661]

Helen would kill me if i brought this one but i think the car would be too good for me as sadley i do neglet them horses and cars do not mix hope you get a good home for her and it does look fab

[NUR71V]

This might seem strange but how hard is it to put the car back to its orig state?
