That IS nice. To answer the OP question, this statement in the listing probably contributes:
"(Orvis sold a 1959 fully restored Land Rover 109 Station Wagon in December of 2010 for $160,900.00). "
One insignificant thing I noticed is that either the listed rover or my own rover (not sure which) have the rear axle check straps mounted to the wrong side of the chassis--mine are outboard of the chassis rails.

1973 SIII 109 RHD 2.5NA Diesel
0-54mph in just under 11.5 minutes
(9.7 minutes now that she's a 3-door).
If it's supposed to be a correct resto, then it's just too wrong on so many levels.
If it's supposed to be a working daily driver, then it's good for that. Not a trailer queen by any means. If you need to spend that much for a right lane cruiser, all the best.
While I'd love for Series trucks to be this valuable, they just ain't.
I feel like this exact truck was on What's My Car Worth on HD Theater/Velocity and sold at auction for $42k.
