No details of what is fitted?

Diff lock?
SLS?
ACE?

At least you can see it is manual

At the risk of stating the obvious don't buy anything fitted with the V8 if you have to consider the running costs, economy is not what these engines are about. As to LPG I would neither fit it or buy already fitted. The most reliable RV8 is the original 3.5 as all the following 94mm bore engines are prone to liner slip & the risk can be increased over time by running LPG.

I've decided to stick to the TD5, just need to find one that's not got a rotten chassis. And the ability to see MOT testers comments from way back is proving invaluable.

Thanks for the comments guys
