Low mileage, recent lpg conversion, premium bumper with MG7 surround ?

Surely worth every penny

Around 8~8.5 k seems a good price.

I would agree, having watched the prices of these cars for a number of years, the prices do currently appear to be creeping upward. Add LPG which will half the fuel costs (the biggest critiscm on these cars) it's a lot of car for the money.

42,000 miles it's nothing, I have one over 135,000 and it stil runs like a dream, I reckon it was only run in at 95,000.

If I was looking for another (I think 2 is currently enough ) I would be knocking on his door sooner rather than later.

Well I will watch the listing with interest as based on your comments I should have had a queue beating my door down a month ago.
