I had a 'K' plate 240SE and it definitely did NOT have ABS, and the handbook made no mention of it; there wasn't even a warning lamp on the dash. I read somewhere (probably "Car and Driver") that the last year's run of the 240 for the American market was fitted with ABS.

Why do you want the added complication - you'd probably need to replace the entire braking system and plug in another black box, then hope the M.o.T. tester didn't find anything wrong? Cadence braking is cheaper......
