Very optimistic I'd say, but exceptionally clean.

By my reckoning, if I resprayed mine (£1,500?) It'd be worth 75% of that = £7,500 - not bad!! :D

I saw that on ebay, there seems to be more and more of these "optimistic" RRC adverts popping up nowadays doesn't there!

My mate's old Blue Softdash keeps cropping up on ebay for sale at Douglas Motors for nearly £9k I think it was. He only sold it for approx £4k a few years ago, it was mint. They had the wrong mileage advertised though as the clocks had been changed before my mate owned it, but when it re-appeared with the correct mileage (it was well over 100k total), it was still the same price. not sure if they ever sold it.
 
I'm not sure that it is, for a dealer sale, overpriced. Any item is only worth what a buyer is prepared to pay for it, notwithstanding the fact that all asking prices are subject to a degree of haggling anyway. It all hangs on the condition, esp the structure, service record etc. Anyone who really wants a genuine original RRC & is not equipped or qualified to carry out extensive renovation on your average rust ravaged example (& has to pay for the hours of labour) would probably be prepared to pay the price.

Think the haggling would have to take the course of him dropping his price by £9,000.00 or so.

Horses for courses mate, if you only want to smoke/burble around town & go mud-plugging it's not worth paying much I agree but you get what you pay for - I'd sooner buy a good Classic (pref. pre '89) than a P38 a few years younger at the same price.

It says 'Dual Zone Air Conditioning....' I could be wrong, but I didn't think the Soft Dash (or any other Classic for that matter) had Dual Zone....

Yes and no - it has dual zone temperature controls, but no RRC had climate control. Basically bother driver and passenger have their own temperature controls (see pic of my car's dash below) but climate control was only introduced on the P38, where the car can recognise the interior temp and keep it at a constant:
