Another one that might be worth a look, especially for a facelift/5sp car at less than £6.5k.

Prices overall seem to be slightly down, probably down to the seasonal fluctuation.

What are the V8's engines like with 200k on them?

In standard form and running on Petrol, with regular servicing etc. I would imagine the V8 would be fine. I'm sure 200k miles is merely a small fraction of its potential in those circumstances.

It is the LPG conversion that worries me, as if you do not have proper lubrication (i.e. Flashlube etc), they are prone to valve seat recession, which can mean a rebuild at higher mileages.
