Well fellas, I now have a 4HP22 in captivity! Freshly removed from a 2.5 litre BMW E34, with about 130,000 kms under its belt.
I took it straight around to my tame mechanic, who removed the pan and had a poke about and pronounced it a good box, as far as he can tell. He thinks even the A-clutch is in good nick, because there is no sign of shit in the very clean oil that we drained out. So! Now I have to find an LR/RR box. Then I'll have to do my homework and figure out everything else I need to do/obtain in order to effect the ZF conversion. For starters, here's a close-up of my tailcone:

So, fancy! Putting a German gearbox into that most English of cars, the Rover P6! There'll be BMW haters over at mg-rover.org who'd have my scalp for doing this.
