Default 1995 Volvo 960 3.0 Auto LPG - £1195 - Wigan

Volvo 960 3.0 Auto with switchable LPG conversion - switches fuel seamlessly at the touch of a button.
MOT 3/4/24. 128K miles.
Usual 960 equipment like cruise control, electric sunroof, air con (but not working), electric seats (but seat heaters not working), CD changer. It comes with a couple of Volvo branded additions for the LPG kit; a small fire extinguisher and a first aid kit. Writing that down makes the LPG kit sound dangerous but I assume it's part of the installer's top tier installation.
You could say the bodywork is...characterful. There are a couple of small rusted areas underneath but nothing that has raised concern for the MOT.
Mechanically all is well and the tyres have plenty of tread. It shows the classic sign of slightly worn valve stem seals - sometimes get a bit of smoke on startup especially if not ran for a while. I will put the spare wheel in the boot, because the LPG tank takes up the usual spare wheel space.

Not much interest in this poor old beast. I bought it off this forum last year. I had further plans but ended up just giving it a machine polish (I know, polishing a turd) and running it for approx 6 months.
It's on ebay but at the same fixed price. I may drop it further, but it's not far off the point where I'd get just as much money from breaking it. Full lpg kit would be a few hundred alone.

Now priced at £995 ono. Save it, otherwise it's getting broken for parts.
