Series 2 '97 V6 Exclusive with LPG

Hi folks,

Mate has picked up a series 2 1997 V6 Exclusive with LPG fitted, in emerald green. It's a left hooker, originally from Germany, via Poland and now in Scotland.

He's currently swithering around trying to decide whether to sell it or break it, as the tin worm has been hard at work.

Any interest?

Regards,

Miah

97 was the changeover year between the PRV and ES9 engines. Do you know which engine this one has fitted?

It would also be nice to know what sort of LPG installation.

I don't offhand, I believe it's supposed to be the 194 BHP version, if that helps. Is there an obvious visual difference between the two?

LPG: I think it's a BRC system, looks like a multipoint injection setup.

The 194 hp version is the ES9.
The PRV 12V has a black plastic cover on the top of the engine, the ES9 has a grey cover.
I forgot to ask whether manual or automatic transmission.

It's the ES9 then, has 24v on the cover too, bit of a giveaway. Automatic.

Dragging this post back to life from the past. Car has been sat doing very little since it arrived at my unit, so it's probably time to either break it or find it a new home.

Tin worm hasn't improved, so I wouldn't say this should/will ever see the road again, but there are plenty of usable parts.

Am likely to be taking a trip from Scotland down to Liverpool next weekendish with the trailer, so if anyone wants bits or the whole thing, shout soon.

Also have some bits from a 2.5 kicking around, including an engine.

Wooden gear knob, including the plastic and gaiter?
