Very doubtful, Vauxhall was about the only UK manufacture to offer factory LPG from order, most likely its DIY.

Going to need a beefy evaporator to cope with that power

Actually, even Vauxhall was retro-fitted ;) With a shite system I might add ;D Although the order was for LPG it wasn't fitted until it reached the UK.

Volvo do, I believe, do a proper Factory fit system.

I think Mitsubishi may be Japanese - not sure though. ::) :D
Apparently some Audis are set up for LPG at the factory, Ecu is programmed for it, wiring, injectors etc all present - doesnt need much more than the tank installing to get them up and running. So I was told by a chap in work who has a newish one.

I've never seen an LPG one.

The pre 96 ones are only 260 bhp, whereas later ones are 280 bhp, contrary to what the traders will tell you who don't know what they're on about.

Most of them are aftermarket imports, with only a few UK spec ones through the dealers. You can usually tell the difference from obvious things like the rear fog clagged on the back (instead of in bumper), and the square shaped rear number plate hole in bumper. The Legnum is of course a Galant estate.

I wouldn't have thought that they'd be factory lpg'd. The japs only use most cars like these as second cars or weekend cars for track racing. Then when they are worthless a few years later, they get shipped over here, all clocked (around 50k), most accident damaged, in need of a service, and sold on for a massive park up, even taking cost of shiping into account!

Correctamundo, mine was fitted by the nearest installer to the dealer and is a Koltec system supplied by Opel I think with the car, coments about it being crap don't apply in this case as mine has covered 140 k on gas!!
