I used to have LPG on a Ford Explorer , and when I was at the place it was fitted they had a classic that was having it fitted . The guy said it works no problem, the only drawback was it was a wagon and the gas tank took up most of the boot .

Turbo'd petrol cars do not like LPG conversions - can't remember exact science as to why, but don't risk it is my advice!

One thing that supports this is that LPG doesn't contain as many engine-protection additives as petrol, which has led some manufacturers to fit harder valve seats.
