Hi Any LPG Guru's on here?


I'm thinking of buying a 1980's Merc SL 280. It's already been converted anything to watch out for?

I am no expert, but have driven one for a few years now.

Pretty much the same as anything else really, and that is history, history, & history.

The original conversion would have been commissioned & a safety cerificate completed by the installer/commissioner otherwise your insurance company will not like to insure it.

Each year it should be re-inspected & serviced & this should generate paper work also.

Anything else is just as with any other car, check general condition, security, and that it works & switches over as it should when started. (they start on petrol & then switch over after they start to warm up)
