V8 Rover Engine - Have just been offered 3 of them

I posted over the forums last week about wanting a Rover V8 engine - I've been offered 3 of them this morning.
I only want / need 1.

Just wondering if anyone else wants one to play with???

Ive no idea of the price and condition yet - just testing the interest (if any) - my forum post did say "for cheaps" so here's hoping.
