Make sure it drives perfectly on both fuels. The LPG system is not the greatest and suffers with failure of the fuel distributor.

Have to agree completely with 'classic'. If it doesn't run on LPG off the bat, there's 2 or 3 usual faults, it can be made to work fairly easily. Kept clean and with filters , many don't have one ex-factory. You'll usually want a 16mm, I'm sure Classic will sort you out.
This subject has been covered ad infinitum on here.

The other part of the LPG "service" is checking and adjusting if necessary the gas pressure differential with a sensitive double ended pressure gauge ...
