A sad day :( Unimog 411.120 westfalia for sale

Well I've decided it's better to sell it than keep it in the
hope that I'll find the time to get it done :(
HTML http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Unimog-U32-411-120-Westfalia-Rare-restoration-/281695247948?
Here's the description:
For sale is my 1964 U32 (U411) Unimog, I don't really want to
sell it but I can see it's just going to sit there rotting away
if I don't sell it. So I'd rather it went to someone who will
spend the time restoring it.
U411 Westfalia (the same people who made the VW campervans)
Unimog. These are getting harder and harder to come across, and
this one is especially unusual as it's an original UK import,
meaning it's spent its life in the UK.
As far as I'm aware it lived in the Isle of Man for most of it's
life, until my Dad was contacted by the owner and he bought it
and gave it to me as a project. it was then stored in the garden
under a sheet (see pictures). Over the years I've done bits and
bobs to it such as fit the diesel tank and make a battery box
etc.
It's got a rear body and an assortment of different hinges for
the sides, some of these are the original early 411 hinges, and
some are off the later 411's.
It come's with 2 pairs of headlights, the lights that came with
it, one unbranded and one branded lucas (see pics). and 1 pair
that I have bought as they are Hella and I believe these will be
the light's that were fitted at the factory.
Also included are the original mercedes star and "arms" the
original mercedes star for the westfalia is also getting hard to
come by.
The Unimog does run, but has no coolant in, so only for a short
period. It starts using ether, as the glow plugs aren't
connected. Mercedes fitted ether injection to 406 Unimog's from
the factory for extremely cold climates, so I'm sure that ether
really doesn't do any harm especially twice in 10 years.
Has 2 seats and the westfalias also came with the luxury of
interior heater and windscreen demisters.
This isn't a small project, it needs a cab off rebuild, but
being a Westfalia cab it's definitely worth restoring, even the
standard 411's are better than having money in the bank at the
moment.
I would ask that anybody who is interested in bidding comes to
view the Unimog before doing so, so they can see what's involved
in it.
A battery can be provided for loading onto a trailer, but will
be removed upon loading.
There are no documents with the vehicle, and it's never been
registered in England.
The starting price is because I can break it as parts for more.
Please don't ask what the buy it now price is, there isn't one,
it's an auction.
I would prefer cash on collection, but a bank transfer would
also be ok. No paypal or cheques please.
Sold as seen.
