It is also possible to fit a V8 205 kW/279 hp engine to the \'pagoda roof\' Mercedes 250 or 280 SL class costing around 73,000 euros (109,000 dollars). The standard versions are mostly fitted with a V6 110 kW/150 hp motor. The ABS kit can set the owner back for another 7,500 euros (11,200 dollars).
\nThe owner of a gas-guzzling classic might want to convert the petrol engine to liquified petroleum gas (LPG) to improve fuel economy. But in this respect licensing authorities, for instance in Germany, often remove the designation \'classic\' for the simple reason that the technology was not available at the time the car was built.
