A UK gas conversion is circa £1300 apparently but less than half in Poland.
Converted MV6's are out there but need a good looking for.....
And far better than a Granny, even a 2.9 Cosworth ;)

You can have mine.
It is not MV6, not 3.0L, not manual, and not converted... but apart than that it fits the bill ;D
Seriously, why not get a cheap ex-plot manual MV6 and convert it? You are likely to re-coop some if not most of the conversion cost come sale time.

I want the seats, wheels etc of a proper MV6.
and i do 30k miles a year.. i dont want a car already with starship miles on

Non-ex-plod MV6 manual... now that's a tall order even before we go into the LPG... :( good luck with finding one.

That would be cheap for a V6.....nearer the £2k mark :y
Its about £800-£900 just for the bits if you diy it.

You dont find many Mv6 LPG's more 2.0,2.2 and 2.5 I have seen acouple of 3.0
I guess people who what LPG want to save cash on fuel like myself are not fussed about top end speeds.
To give you a ball park figure on a 2.0 with a mixer (old system) i can get about 7p per mile or about 500miles for 36-38 quid
one thing i do know others may say the same the MPG is ok at normal speeds but when you boot it it seems to drink it faster than it would with petrol but hey a 40 odd pence a litre who cares

Or it enables people to be able to afford a 3.0 rather than a tractor

True
I used to do 25000 mile to work and back a year and it worked out on gas a saving of around £2700 over petrol this is the reason i went for my omega in the first place.
Shame I only stayed in the job for 4 weeks until i got another one as i hated it there

Don't underestimate tractor performance when properly tuned.... ....ask Bo Bo who went in Omegatoy's estate ;)
And, tractor owners still have a boot ;)

I have a mate here that is in the conversion trade will have to ask him if he can do members a special offer

As an ex Granny 24v owner, if you are after a frogeye ugly 24v, proceed with great caution, cam chains become noisy, there is an updated tensioner with a different sized oil port in it for better self adjusting... BUT, once chain damage is done, noisy... if it's had a recent oil change, this maybe silencing it.... apart from that... Get a Meega, you know you want to....
Hope this helps...

i had a none frog eye one before, so a frog one isnt really what i'd be looking for..

Used many a Cosworth 24v in my line of work as Company Cars. Once you got used to the boat like hadling (similar to the 'Meega) it could hustle along quite nicely as long as you set them up correctly for the bends. Don't brake off too much speed at any one time though, as it took a day or two to restore progress...... ;)
Had an appetite for rear tyres, especially on the inner edges with a full boot of kit, but I liked them, on the whole, especially the hatchbacks. Biggest let down was engine noise (tappets/adjusters) which sounded like a skeleton dancing on an empty biscuit tin at times......
