nothing to do with me http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2004-MG-ZT-T-SE-V8-260-SILVER-BLUE-/230616542172?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D3%26po%3D LVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D8862979191370026518
pity the LPG tank takes up so much room though, makes the ZTT less practical with its position as well - I was partially tempted untill I saw that (as a Diesel ZS Replacement!)
Does look nice though!!
:cool:

Love that colour, when I bought my car just over 3 years ago there was a saloon for sale that colour (Cat C and a long way away from me put me off). But still one of my favourite colours.
Having an LPG tank in my car, I wouldn't be too bothered by the tank here, yes you do loose the flat load space, but in most circumstances you are not going to loose too much space. I might be tempted to cover it somehow to hide the pipework.
Nice looking, the lpg would have got it past the wife but agree the tank reduces the advantage of the -T

It´s too bad SC and LPG don´t mix.
Could have got a SC past the wife that way.
(no dear, that big thing on the top is part of the LPG install):D

Nice colour, ;)
Fit a full length gas bag on the roof to clear estate space :p

then it would be an airship, might not have to pay road tax then?

Nice colour ;)
Wonder if that's the 2 or 3 stage?
I dont think having LPG should prevent a SC installation. There are plenty of supercharged big engines cars with LPG conversions.
Admitedly it would be better to do it the other way around though - i.e. fit LPG system AFTER supercharger!

I suppose that's a good thing from a current owners perspective that buyers are sitting with cash ready and willing to travel such distances prepared to do a deal there and then.
As the economy recovers could we see a rise in value? Here's hoping (again from a current owners perspective!)
