I know a good place with experience in V8's -- maybe you could see if a doughnut tank will go in the spare wheel bay to keep all the boot for the 412 roof bits.

I couldn't believe it when I went to get a gallon fuel tank filled with Diesel on Saturday £9.72 !!! - all the prices in litres makes us old farts unaware of how much a gallon prices have gone up ! It was 50p / gallon when I worked at the local petrol station as a teenager , and I filled your car for you and washed your screen !!

It made me laugh the last time I was in Florida listening to a couple of American guys moaning about the high cost of fuel. They wouldn't complain after paying UK prices for a while.

Bristol did a fantastic job on the Blenheim 4 with the LPG. When we did the maths after travelling from London to Leeds , it worked out at just short of 40 mpg petrol equivalent cost. So more economical than my Merc diesel and no noticeable difference in performance from petrol.

I guess it depends on how much mileage you intend to do and how long you intend to keep the car - a lot of sums to do :-)
