I appreciate it might be against your new found LPG religion to consider a diesel, but it's a Carlton.

Isn't £750 rather a lot? Or is that about right, as I know old Dervs, especially veg oil compatible ones carry a premium over big engined petrols at the moment. Will it run on veg?

Awww but you've been talking about them for years! You should've bought it and just slowly got it made spic an span :-)

For a whole lot of good, bad and ugly reasons. :-)

It is one of them cars where the relationship tilts several times a day between love and hate.

Probably... although given there's not many left and there weren't many sold in the first place, it *must* therefore be a classic and is priced accordingly... right?

No idea - I know the main issue with running stuff on veg is to do with pump seals getting shagged as a result, and these have a fuel pump, whereas I can apparently run my Passat on the stuff.

I've no intention of doing so, mind.

What sort of MPG?

Nothing spectacular - about 38-40-ish. About expected for that size of car with an ancient boat anchor engine, mind.
