Yes - this is a GENUINE factory pickup. these are exceptionally rare anywhere. but as they were only built and sold for the Australian market we believe that this may be one of only two in the UK and perhaps even Europe!
**My business is restoring modifying classic cars & hotrods - so if there is anything that you would like done to the car. I can either do it. or can arrange it**
I should add that this is my own personal car - I love it. but am making way for a new project.
This is an older restoration (approximately 10 years) when it was mildly rodded.
The factory 10hp engine has been replaced with a stock tune 3. 5ltr Rover V8. it has a flip front which looks very impressive. and the interior has been nicely and simply re-trimmed.
The complete driveline has been updated. starting with the V8 which is fitted with the popular 4 barrel edelbrock carb. and nicely detailed with chrome etc.
It is running a 3 speed automatic gearbox and escort rear end. with custom 4 link setup.
Up front. it has discs on a double wishbone coil over setup. which gives it fantastic positive steering.
Loads of lovely period details. very rare badges. and some beautiful custom made headlights by a specialist.
Everywhere you look you will find awesome little details - a ridiculous amount of time and money has been invested in this car.
New (Raleye) steelies. with new tyres from Northhants tyres. it's ready to cruise.
I cannot even begin to tell you how sad I will be to part with this. everyone (especially my wife and daughter) just love it.  
Tax and MOT exempt. but it has a current MOT anyway.
The body is rust free. but there are minor blemishes to the paint as you might expect after 10 years of use.
There are very minor leaks. creaks. scrapes etc. but it is absolutely amazing for a 60 year old car!!!  It HAS NO RUST! really - NONE.
No it does not drive like a new mercedes. But all the better for that - it has bags of character. and is FUN to drive. not wayward!  Pin sharp steering.
The car is currently at a specialist exhaust shop having a custom made stainless system fitted. and can be viewed there till the end of the week near Aylesbury.
Any questions - please CALL me (Ben) on 07590558569Can be viewed at any reasonable time (day / evening) 
It really is a very special car.

NOTE.
1.  VEHICLE IS ADVERTISED ELSEWHERE and so it may sell before the auction end - if so the listing will be cancelled. 2.  Not interested in fake cheque scams - really. I won't fall for it. 3.  Auction is for the purchase of the vehicle. not an opportunity to haggle.  I won't play silly games with the winning bidder.  4.  I'm a friendly. honest and helpful guy. I will pick you up at the train station. make you a cup of tea. help with delivery etc. I want you to be happy. 5.  Remember this is a 60 year old car. it has many faults which all add to its character. no it's not sensible to replace your Meriva with this to drive on a 100 mile commute every day!!!  6.  Yes - I may well be interested in a trade :) ONLY of course following ebay rules.  

On 24-Sep-13 at 23:18:11 BST. seller added the following information:

The car is advertised on PH - along with our own site www. heartofchrome. co. uk for £14. 00 which is to include a FULL respray to bring the car up to near show condition.   Offers will be considered without the respray - very presentable as it is. Respray either in the current colour - or my plan is to go two tone - yellow. with old english white (cream) upper above body mould line. By negotiation. we could include a company logo / sign writing on the sides/rear of the car.
RESERVE IS SET WELL BELOW THE ADVERTISED PRICE.
DONT MISS THIS ONE - YOU WILL LIKELY NEVER SEE ANOTHER!

On 24-Sep-13 at 23:22:18 BST. seller added the following information:

YES - this is just like the car on Wheeler Dealers - except it isn't a rolling pile of junk like the car they bought - and it's a pickup which is very very rare! (see if you can find another!) - It is also half the price they sold that car for - and frankly a much prettier car.
