Sorry i must have missed the above post with the price! D'oh!
Great bargain you've got there. Is there much needs doing to it ? What's the insurance like ?

Yeah, it's a good deal but only economically viable if I use it for parts and cram it into my W123. Insurance isn't too bad but it does need loads of little bits and bobs - rear window aperture, rear air shocks, air lines, 3 doors, 4 wings, timing chain, oil pump, warning light humbrol'd over...But it is a 65k car for £270!

There great cars to buy for V8 engine conversions, there pennies for the whole car, prob £200ish on ebay, you rip engine, box and loom out and then sell the parts on for more than you paid for the whole lot!
Plus the 5l V8 comes in around 265bhp, much better than any Rover V8 out there as standard! Oh and you'll get an LSD as well

Are there any bulkhead modifications with the 500 W124? This may or may not help but using a late W126 diff and making up new rear housing and adaptor brakets for the four front bolts gives you 2.24 ratio. Perfect for the 500 motor  |

Do you mean the 190e? I get confused with chassis codes ( i thought the 190 was W201???)
If So...
The engine slotted straight in, just had to make some very simple mounts up (literally some plate to move them a few inches forward.
