Heres a few more pics
The sludge is referred to as 'heavy ends'. I too have never touched my Vap in 4 years as my LPG system is one thing that has never given me any trouble. I renew the filter to each bank every 20k though.

Hmmmmm....
The Electroncic Air Suspension (EAS) uses a compressor, valve block (mounted under the bonnet roughly weher your washer fluid tank is) and an air receiver under the passenger side door sill.....
This setup provides air at pressure to the suspension bladders to alter the ride height of the vehicle for different driving conditions......
Looking at your photos, the compressor and valve block are missing.....
Has it been converted to coils?

EAS is the electronic air suspension that would have been fitted to the car when it was new, controls the ride height up and down etc. The pump and valve block should be on the right hand side of the engine bay where that white tank is just near the air filter. Looks like the cruise actuator and bracket has been moved as well
Thats a standard gems bay

With a L322 'conversion' ..... you are asking the wrong people for whats it worth, because you may not like the replies!
If some one was in the market for a converted P38 on coils (which ruins the ride and was not as the chassis/setup was designed) then it would be worth whatever they are willing to pay.....
With the very greatest respect, and this is only my opinion, and please don't get all bent up about it...but to me it would be worth a couple hundred and even then I would have to think long and hard.....and I certainly wouldn't drive it about, I'd part it out or convert it back......but thats me!

so you got your work cut out . .. sort the engine issues . . . and then put the EAS back.
Then you might just get away with the looks

And at that price point...only a few hundred more and you are in proper L322 territory in anycase....
Oh no no, without sounding like a dick. Overfinch is actually a conversion that people respect (more power, subtle styling tweaks, mostly more power). Underpigeon was invented to mock the conversions. Yes yours has been done well, but it is still a conversion that looks, for lack of a better word, tacky. From what I figure in your pictures the tailgate doesn't sit horizontal, which is absolutely absurd... and the less said about those exhausts the better. 162k on a Rover V8 means its time is up. I'd say anything over a grand is pushing your luck. The interior is probably the best part of the whole vehicle.
I've often been told I'm as subtle as a brick to the face. My wife gets a real kick out of it.
That.. is hideous. Those exhausts.. well, I don't even know where to begin.
Not even going to look for it on eBay for fear of a hernia inducing belly laugh.
