No idea on what would be a good price.
If the antenna on eBay is from cadeex, they don't deliver to the UK.

I wonder if it was pre-war or at least very early wartime production because there is no mention of bike production after the factory was destroyed. Also, I haven't found any information on what the parts where made for or if they had another factory making the Plover.
"During the air raids over Coventry in 1940 the Frances Barnett Factory was completely destroyed. The company continued making parts during the war at an alternative location. It was not until 1945 that production resumed back at Lower Ford Street"

Stacked in pallets on cargo ships, the weight of the top layers simply crushed those below, resulting in fuel losses of up to 40 percent, and making unloading the intact containers extremely hazardous with thousands of gallons of petrol sloshing around in the bilges and the fumes powerful enough to render seamen unconscious, not to mention the danger of fire or explosion.

Is it definitely being used for water delivery? If they ever put petrol in there during the war, the water is going to taste pretty awful. Would it be used for construction work/road making?
Drinking water was transported to front line trenches in petrol cans. It was then purified with chemicals. To help disguise the taste, most water was drunk in the form of tea, often carried cold in soldier’s individual water bottles. In extreme circumstances, soldiers might resort to boiling filthy water found in shell holes. Drinking polluted water could lead to diarrhoea and outbreaks of dysentery.
