I have just passed a service area off the M6 near Stoke-on-Trent. Diesel fuel cost? ONLY 168.9 pence per litre! I had earlier filled my Dacia Sandero Bi-fuel with LPG at 72 pence per litre. A further advantage of converting a petrol A2 to run on LPG compared with owning a diesel A2 are that the action of gear-changing should be much better than the diesel. The fuel is very clean burning and doesn't harm the environment. The duty is very low and I'm pretty sure that it will stay that way. I've just finished converting my Mercedes SLK to run on LPG and the total cost was about £600. I'm sure that I could easily convert an A2 because I've been converting cars to that fuel since the 1970's! What I'd be looking for would be a petrol A2 with OSS and an exception (maybe unique) interior. The car's paintwork would be In a good colour, too. My Dacia is very easy to sell, that's for sure! I'd actually make a profit of several thousand's of £££'s.! The other areas that I could aim to improve on a future owned A2 would be ride quality ..... Coil-overs? Even though I don't own an A2 anymore, I'm still visiting the Forum frequently. Owning the Dacia does show how things have advanced since the A2 was available in showrooms ....But where I feel a little frustrated is that there's nothing for me to buy to improve it! I've just got to use it "as-is" and that's totally alien to me! (I never stopped with the A2, there was always something else to improve, change or modify!)
I've asked the new owner of my A2 to let me know if it was to be disposed-of in the future. I'm sure that I could change the engine to a petrol unit and convert to LPG!
