I'm pretty sure I've seen one which replaces the petrol tank with a smaller one and fills the remaining space with a well-armoured LPG tank. Petrol range drops to around 100 miles but even here in Wales that'll get you to a garage with LPG!

When I had a V8 ~ wish I still had it ~ converted to LPG we fitted 2x40ltr gas tanks in place of the standard petrol tank and a small 25ltr petrol tank in the rear wing. No problems when off tarmac and enough petrol to get to an LPG station if needed.
Anyone on here own P 939 BEW? I want it back :'(
Disco Matt:
As undersill tanks appear to be fine I have to say I'd buy a V8 now. The running costs with LPG will be lower than a diesel and the initial purchase price is likely to be lower, so you should have change for the conversion.

Good? What for?
They're awful cars if you want a convertible, or need to drive into low multi-story car parks, or park on a narrow driveway. Just terrible.
On the other hand, a Skoda Favorit is a fantastic car, if you want to enter a demolition derby with a group of Mini drivers and only have a few quid in your pocket.
Can you narrow your criteria down a bit? On-road or off-road? Annual mileage? Passengers? Towing? Heavy loads? Modifying? Bobtailing?
