Default 2008 V50 2.4L i Auto LPG Converted. 24,500miles only

Sadly, due to the arrival in November of another Volvo, my V50 must move on. It is now back on it's original plates FY 08 TOA, being first reg on 27 3 08. I have 20 odd pictures but can only get this one to upload! PM me or email Bhowani@hotmail.com and I'll send you what I can.
LPG converted by Autogas 2000 at Thirsk in 2010 with 1,487 miles on
(£1,859.08 ) as the first owner had a stroke and ceased driving. Serviced annually (September) by them since. Autogas 2000 have never managed to extinguish the omissions LED, so it shines on with detrimental effect at all.
Petrol servicing each April in line with TIME, not mileage, so it is "over-serviced" if you like. Service by Mount, Halifax. (ex dealer for Volvo, now Indy)
DoT ticket due 27 3 2014
Tyres new all round at 18,000. Full size spare + tyre, though it has to live in the boot as 62L (capacity - useable 42L) LPG tank sits in spare wheel cavity.
MPG over my ownership: 18-19 around town and up to 28 on a run. Double this for "real life mpg with the price of LPG being approx. 50% petrol at mo.
Colour Ruby Red Pearl (478) and grey cloth interior which has been protected by sheepskin seat covers all it's life with me.
Bad bits/damage: nil, unless one visit by Chips away to deal with a kerbed alloy counts!
Nice bits: USA kit fitted to turn aluminium trim to walnut.

Price: OIRO £7,500. Vehicle in LS29, and in daily use, albeit "light" use!

Why pay petrol prices?
