You got all that - LPG and all - for fifteen hundred quid? Bargain of the year.

Looks like the engine sits fairly well forward - not far off the position for a genuine V8. So if you wanted to swap the autobox for an R380, you might be in with a chance of getting it to bolt straight in.

An older chap had it and had the heavy work and finished himself.The guy was a wiz. He told me the V8 is mounted just as a genuine so he could fit either a auto or a stick shift.The auto he fitted has a 'high top gear'/overdrive type of thing which kicks in at about 65.Its better than she looks.Chassis is mint. If i was nit pickin i found a small patch on the bulkhead top.
To good to be true really.
