The 2.5 V6 is at its best on long journeys at cruising speed when it will return 30 mpg or more. That is
not thirsty!
The road tax is £280 p.a. which is significantly cheaper than the same car taxed under the CO2 emissions system. That is
not expensive!
What does cost time and money is a restoration or recommissioning. I know because I've done it. That is the reason why no-one wants this car. It's got nothing to do with road tax or fuel consumption.
During the next 20 years few will want a petrol or diesel car anyway.
