I wonder how possible it would be to transfer this system to another car yourself. I suppose you'd have to get it fully checked out byu a professional afterwards.

From what I`ve heard about some installers you`d probably make a better job of it yourself. There`s been a masive influx of cowboys since LPG has taken off, I`m pretty sure there are web pages available to help with fitting and almost certainly a list of approved fitters who might even be prepared to check out your own handywork.

The car looks decent, pop a subframe and octopus on it, easy octo swap with the frame off too, make a nice little runer for someone.

I thought of Timbo when I saw this one, same subframe problem and in Swansea but otherwise it sounds good.

Just what is the problem with the subframe? Im curious now. Tell you what that will make a bargain for someone. Same performance as a TZD and the equivalent of 70 MPG!!! Nice looking car too. If I didnt already have a BX id jump at the chance.
