Can't be that many 240's in silver which have had the petrol tank completely removed to be LPG only, I'd be very surprised if that wasn't his old car being sold on again.

And

"I bought this car in 2005 and sold it early in 2008 only to buy it back again later in the year."

I'm pretty sure that's what happened with stiggy's car

It was the LPG full conversion and Torslanda alloys that made me think it must be his, but I really didn't think it was that long since he sold it.

That's right, couldn't remember who bought it but yes it was IH.

I'd be tempted to have a bid but A/C is an absolute must have for me.

Id rather see the LPG ripped off, binned and the car restored to running soley on petrol. A lovely looking car but after seeing first hand the long term effects of lpg, due to higher combustion temperatures, on a petrol engine the lpg conversion puts me off sorry..
