Looks like the detachable swan neck one though, like I have on mine.  When its needed, take it out of the spare wheel well, lock it into position, swivel down the electrics and were away....

Two things against the car for me, though....  

Its an auto and unclear if its a Vaux LPG install or aftermarket.  Would think its the aftermarket one.  Anyone advise otherwise?

Nothing wrong with a GOOD after market system. All the VX system was was an after market system fitted before sale

It doesn't mention the plate in the ad but I have a Silver 2.2 CD with a p/plate - do you think the missus would notice if I swapped it?  Oh bugger it's a MV6 so aluminium instead of walnut.  That's me caught :(
