Old diesel landy (or a mk3 with an age related plate attached 
Ok, not 30mpg, but using chip shop oil you can make it for 20 to 30p a litre (legally - ur allowed to make up to 2500l for personal use) means the
20mpg it does do becomes a whopping 60 to 100mpg!!!!!!!!!
it aint fast but its cheap as chips and dead simple to work on. I came VERY close to buying one except i need something a little quicker.

Yeah but it's gonna cost another £1750 to put a roof on!
