Looks nice, that's about the range of my expertise  2005 Range Rover Vogue with Supercharged Accessories
GONE 2001 Discovery TD5 ES
GONE 1995 Discovery 300 tdi GS

the only thing I'd be cautious about is the gas conversion - lots of people sell cars with gas problems  RR Sport Supercharged Vesuvius Orange 4.2 V8 First edition

2nd on cautious on lpg but when running right is fine, been running my D1 and Defender 110 on lpg for 12 years + with no real proplems and there single point system, FF's on lpg are a far superior system. And as for the cherry wood, much better then the dark wood IMO ( dont shoot me guys who have it, to me dark wood is for old beams and joists in farm houses ) If it dont work.......burn it!

If the IId tool cant fix it.......burn the FF.

If the FF cant be fixed......buy a Land Cruiser!

If the LC cant be fixed..............................................BUY a horse !!

Robert, just my opinion, looks like a well sorted vehicle, low miles, low ownership great spec, even the wood looks OK with the jet, however my tuppence worth would be 1, LPG 2. The number is no use in La France, I agree history and mileage are king but personally I would walk away

I just don't get the whole LPG thing and I personally would avoid it like the plague. What it says to me is the car's been run on the cheap, so servicing will have been the minimum he could get away with and it'll have budget tyres etc.

Now it is possible that the owner was environmentally conscious and did it for emissions reasons, but somehow I seriously doubt it. You can either afford to run it or you can't. That alone would be enough to put me off.

Tyres are always my barometer - all 4 matching and of a decent brand or I walk away.

Dave, can you expand on your point as a number of us abhor LPG, maybe for the wrong reasons, I personally would never buy any car with it, please enlighten us [/quote]

I reckon that's the first non-SC or TDV8 I've seen with terrain response. Looks nice.
I would imagine that the non-SC LPG'd engine will be less stressed that the SC and less complex? Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

The only thing about the LPG (and I run one myself on a BMW 4.4 with no problems) is the jag engine is known for slipped linings on LPG and requires another piece of kit to lubricate it (can't remember the technical term) so would be wary if it did not have it. Other than that looks great and is maybe a grand or so too much but you gets what ya pay for!

I think that's flash-lube? Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

You are in France....buy a diesel!

Also looks like a VSE as it has the controls on the dash for cooled seats. Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

My observations:

Clean, straight car, I absolutely LOVE the interior combo with the cherry, I wish mine had it.

The tyres are non standard size (Cooper Zeon LTZ) and possibly the wrong speed rating too. Easily changed, along with perhaps some updated V spoke alloys.

Shame the LPG filler is so obvious.

I'd say the price is ok for the miles. Factory privacy glass too.
