Both cars appear to have been abandoned, at first glance the V8 in the 240 appears similar to a Rover V8 but certain things suggest it's the Pontiac/Olsmobile/Buick (POB) 215ci V8 which of course is where the Rover V8 came from.
Hard to say really but both cars appear to need a lot of work, potentially welding as well seeing as they've been parked where grass has been growing. Even fully restored and running with fresh MoTs, i doubt this pair would realize £8k and they'd probably need about £8k spent on them to get them to that state.

Is the £8k for one or both cars? The advert really isn't clear.

I'd say that says it's for both cars but even so, at £8k they're not going to sell quickly!
