Running on LPG this quality V8 4x4 produces 35-45MPG petrol equivalent. No loss in power - starts on petrol, auto switchover to LPG at 45c operating temperature which is within a mile or so from cold start, seconds from warm start. Good quality system with hidden filler - will continue to operate on LPG even on kick down/high revs (older/poorer systems switch back to petrol).
A very practical, luxury, fast and capable car. Last serviced 27/02/2013 at 102,794 miles which was a full inspection 2 - therefore around 15,000 miles before next due.
Currently on private plate J4YEY - not desparate to sell, will return to original CU52ZZL once interest received.
Mileage at 107,442 today, will rise slightly as in daily use.
Situated in Central Scotland Scotland - around 30 mins from Glasgow of Edinburgh airport, Stirling Railway Station 5 mins. Can organise pick up.
