Need to Sell the Terrano now

After a recent run of bad luck I now have taken a new job with company car. I've had to move in with the girlfriend to a pokey little flat whilst my house is sold, but just fallen through so costing me a fortune. I don't have space to keep the truck, company car, girlfriends car and tools here so will need to get rid.
It's far from new and needs a bit of tidying up, but could be a good project for someone wanting to have a new toy.

It's a 1998 S reg SWB Nissan Terrano Salomon model, Manual box. This comes with the 2.7TDi engine. It's taxed until September 2014 (Tax rate is £126.50 6 months or £230.00 for 12 months). The MoT expires June 2015, so almost a years motoring to be had.

There are some advisories on the MoT this time, they are:

Nearside front upper suspension ball joint dust cover damaged, but preventing ingress of dirt
Centre clamp of the exhaust has a minor leak of gases (might just need tightening as the exhaust seems pretty good)
Offiside outer rear sill suspension component mounting corroded but not considered excessive
Nearside inner wheel arch liner insecure. (I removed the rubber liners from both arches for access, so these probably just need screwing back in)

It's done 137000 miles and runs fine on straight veg.

Since I've had it I've replaced the starter motor as it died whilst camping in Cornwall. I still have the old one if you wanted to refurbish it as a spare.
I've fixed one of the indicators as the previous owner had broken the connectors.
I've recently changed the oil, oil filter, fuel filter, Air filter and cabin filter.
I've repaired the heater blower resistor so the fan now works.

The spec of the car is:
Full leather interior in pretty good condition
Electric mirrors and windows
Air-con (although the belt has been removed, I have a replacement belt though)
Towbar with electrics, not tested
Rear work lights, activated by a switch on the dash.
2 x BFG Goodrich all terrains on the front which were pretty much new when I bought it. There's a mud terrain on the rear offside and a nail's stuck in the original which is now hanging on the back awaiting replacement. I think both back tyres could do with changing, then use the mud terrain as the spare.

Most of the body work is good, but the nearside wing looks like it's made of paper maché and the rear bumper looks like it's been bodged back together and could do with finishing off properly or replacing. Some of the panels are held on with cable ties in places and could do with tidying up, but should be relatively easy.
Oh, I replaced the two front ARB drop links, but one looks like it's failed already so I think the shocks could do with replacing. I've not had anyway to get this up in the air to have a proper look and now don't have time/space/tools to work on it.
The reverse light doesn't seem to work. I don't think it's just the bulb, possibly just crud in the switch on the box. Could be cleaned up, or replaced for about £15
I paid £700 for it a few months back with short MoT. I've now paid out for the tax Mot and a few repairs, so I was hoping to get somewhere near my money back. It runs well now and starts first time. It did have some air in the IP, which was readily resolved by Jules cracking open the injector unions. Hasn't caused any issues since.
I've got a couple of spare stereo's so can include one with the truck.
I'm now based in Axbridge, so any viewing or collection would need to be done down this way.
