Man id buy it today, right now, in fact i would have bought it yesterday. I spent ages looking for a NL/AU Fairlane on LPG with less than 120klms on it and at that price its a bargain.
AU Fairlane on LPG, i would kill people to have that for that price. LPG wont really hinder the performance much (I wouldnt remove it), with the nice VCT Motor, and those mods, the Fairlane should have a fair bit of grunt, sure its not a TS, but it will go OK.

The performance between gas and petrol in the real world is un noticable so i'd leave gas on and if you go to the track then switch it to petrol and make sure gas tank is empty. It's a fairlane so you dont have to be concerned with flat flooring every traffic light take off but with your mentioned mods which mine has they are a great performer. As for the price and kays it is a very good buy.
