All that work and now you're selling it? What's the next conversion going to be?

Well although the lpg conversion on the XK8 is great, I've got to rationalise my fleet as I've bought a Porsche Cayman (which I've no intention converting to LPG), need to sell the XK8 and Subaru Impreza to recoup some funds!

Because it's not uneconomical on petrol, in fact it's very affordable to run for a 245Bhp machine, returning 25mpg on the daily run to work and over 30mpg on the motorway, i just dont think a conversion would be that cost effective on this vehicle as I don't intend doing such a big mileage.
