Jaguar X-Type with LPG Conversion - selling in 2023?


Recommended Posts

I've decided to sell in July 2022 (Now  probably selling in 2023- see my last posting) my grey Jaguar X-Type petrol saloon.  My car is on the LPG Register, its number is BJ54 KKH. It is fitted with a BRC LPG system and the JLM Valve Saver Fluid is always kept fully topped up. It has done less than 86,000 miles

For the past year the engine has been cutting-out when it switches to LPG so although I currently have a full tank of LPG in the boot it is only running on petrol. Aside from that fault the car is running perfectly - I always run it on Shell V-Power petrol. Aside from a dink in the rear bumper which is something which could be fixed by an enthusiast, the car is in a pretty good state.  I have been told by Battersea Autogas that fixing the LPG should be pretty inexpensive - probably less than £100. LPG currently costs £0.86 per litre which is a considerable saving over the cost of petrol - basically LPG costs less than half the cost of petrol.
 
Rather than put the car in as a standard trade-in to a dealer and getting the automated low end price, I would like to sell the car at a small premium to a Jaguar enthusiast who is a member of this Club and who might wish to enjoy its real potential. Here is an article from the Telegraph on Future Classic X Type and details of my car when I bought it.  Please email me for background and photos etc

If its only £100 to get the car running on LPG again, surprised you have not already done it.

Would help with sale of car, and also your wallet for LPG instead of super unleaded. (You'd get the money back in three fillups :0 )

True but I simply cannot find the time to drive the car to Battersea Autos, leave it for a day or so and then collect it. I live in North West London and tend to have to work crazy hours on my work.

I am planning on buying a second hand Jaguar XF Sportbrake in July 2022 from a dealer and rather than them taking my X type car as a trade-in  I would like to sell it to one of the members of this forum at a small premium over what I am likely to be offered.

During June 2022 if any member is interested in purchasing the car in Sept 2022 please contact me. I plan to take and upload recent photographs of the car (and the rear bumper damage) in July 2022 just before I put it on public sale.

  • AliKelman changed the title to Jaguar X-Type with LPG Conversion - for sale in July 2022 - now selling in Sept 2022

Have had the LPG fixed and am now using the car again for journeys - paying £0.99 per litre for fuel (!)  Might sell in 2023 but with zero depreciation and 100% comfort it has to be the right offer.

Have decided to sell this car - because I am not using it. It rides and handles very well and uses LPG at 0.99p per litre. Will be selling it from March 10th onwards. LPG compliant
