Well if you were close to Northampton I'd go and have a look. But with a rotten chassis and a rotten bulkhead (by the sounds of it in the description) it might be a little bit on the high (price-wise) side. Still you never know if you don't go and see and try to haggle.

Oh i only wish i could buy more, was just sharing ;)
 
The truck cab is very original, as is a 109 pick up. Working back from a top price refurbished it's too expensive.
 
Had another look at the photos. It's very original throughout but it looks pretty rotten in places as well. A realistic price would be around £500-1,000. That's the problem with eBay, people think they can maximise value. If that was a pristine refurbishment it'd be somewhere around £8-10k, but it needs around £5k spent at least if not more. Someone will pay too much and do a half arsed refurbishement and it'll not be very nice.
 
I think it looks lovely, if you had good welding skills and plenty of time it might be worth it. The body and paintwork don't look much worse than mine. When I take my landy to the supermarket I try to park it next to the most expensive and flashy looking cars in the car park and I am always surprised how many people comment on how they think the pile of rust looks great. The moss filled window channels seem to delight the admirers the most.

Think it might be because of the 'barn find' tag its got on it, I think that adds a certain value to what people wanna say when they buy it, oh it was a 'barn find' and they think oh awesome! Over oh I restored it

I kinda do that too in the supermarket car park. I take particular effort to park beside people in very new poncy Range Rovers. Women drivers usually don't notice but the men do. Usually a kind of half glance and the look respect cos they knew their in a right poncy wagon.
