give you 50quid and a packet of hob-nobs. a few of the hob nobs are broken, but are perfectly acceptable to be used for dunking into ones tea.
but since you are st johns.. stick it on ebay and flog it for as much as you can get. or create an auction event?

Anything is only worth what someone will pay, guessing this with old and unusual vehicles is a bit of a waste of time. The market will decide, local paper, auto trader, lr mags, e-bay. The choice is yours, or all of them, see what offers you get.
What sort of engine does it have?, that is usually of interest to buyers!
Quite a specialized thing, only really of interest to someone who wants a camper or suchlike, I would think.
50k is a low mileage, but if the plate is any guide that is not the most sought after landy ever, not old enough to be very rare, or tax exempt, and that vintage has a bad rep. for metal quality.
I doubt if the designer of the cooling system would be thrilled to see the spare wheel mounted in front of the rad like that, but it probably wont have done much harm with light use in UK conditions.

Fair enough, proper answers then....
There's not many about so at auction prices can vary wildly. If it's on the road and without any major issues 2-3k would be normal.
There's two distinct type of buyers for these, Collectors that will want to restore to original spec and expedition campers, both pay the same for a base vehicle needing work and both will want to carry out different work on it themselves.
Unless you want to keep it a restoration (other than roadworthiness) doesn't make much sense as you're effectively reducing the number of potential buyers and increasing the value by probably less than it'll cost.
What engine is fitted?

I think that body shape was produced primarily for the NZ military, do you know tname of the coachbuilders?

2268 cc, usually known as a two and a quarter!
Diesels are a bit more sought after, although the petrols are quite a reliable engine. It may not make much difference, most vehicles like that don't do huge mileages.
These engines are ten a penny, although having been well looked after is a plus, what really determines the worth of a vehicle like this is the rust status of the chassis and bulkhead.

The 2 1/4 petrol is much more comfortable lugging that body around than the diesel so that's not really a drawback. Quite a few have V8's but they are seriously thirsty

That is a very low mileage for the year, I wonder whether it might be worth sticking an ad in the specialist mags for that, see who comes out of the woodwork.
I think BB is right about the power with that bodywork, its a while since I had a 2 1/4 diesel, forgotten how gutless they are.

Coach builder plate is usually front nearside of the body but was often painted over

Ambulance history is a bit sketchy at the best of times but I think it's a Pilcher-Greene "P type" build
