Is it a myth or do CNG V70 Volvo really exist?!

CNGBiFuel · Aug 31st, 2012, 08:44

I'm new to this forum and have been trying to buy a CNG 60, 70 or 80. Preferably a V70 estate. I've a home fill set-up used now for my Land rover and reckon on getting a CNG Volvo.

But... can I find one? Not ever. I know these are rarer than rocking-horse poo, but does anyone know how many came into the country?

I can get the LPG model easily enough, but it's CNG I want. Can you hear my frustration? I've been trying to get one one for nearly six months.

Please, anyone know. Anyone wnat to sell me theirs?

They do exist, but they're very rare. There are two factory Bi-Fuel S60s on eBay at the moment. If memory serves correctly, they were all 2.4 140bhp models.

cheers

Yes I've been watching Ebay, and Autotrader, as for the Bifuel, I don't think they're too rare, far from it, there's more available than anyone would need, until you say you want Bifuel CNG.
Aside for Googling once a week, and checking Autotrader, and Ebay, I'm not sure where else to look. Any suggestions?

The CNG ones are rare - I saw one once on autotrader, can't remember if it was a S60 or V70 through.

It's out of date now, but here was one that was once for sale

The problem with CNG was, unless you had the facility at home, that there were precious few filling stations that sold the stuff!

So that I guess meant that very few cars were ever sold new, hence now they are as rare as hens teeth.

Why not look at getting a standard car converted?

How many CNG fill up points are there in the UK as I can't see I have ever noticed one?

What is the attraction of CNG vs LPG
