Bring a Trailer is an interesting website, just read the comments carefully for any car you are interested in. Sometimes the descriptions are a little enthusiastic if you know what I mean.

Any W126 v8 should be checked for the head gasket leaking oil at the rear of the engine, for camshaft/rocker arm wear on the passenger side camshaft, and of course, timing chain rail condition.

Fuel distributers cost a fortune and don't like E10 fuel, poor running may entail much more than a simple tuneup.
