So im watching an episode of wheeler dealers as we speek and they are doing an LPG conversion on a landrover

Its possible... But they use big tanks. You wouldnt have a boot anymore, and even then tge range wouldnt be very far!

Next door used to have a jeep that was converted. The tank used mpst of that boot and they didnt save much money

You would have to drive a huge mileage to just break even on cost. It would also de-value the car as it would no longer be an as-original classic car, so it's really not worth doing.

Only becomes viable if you stick a V8 in the front to help lug around the tank !
