A special builders dream that one, with a current V5 stating special, what more could you ask for. It did mention in the advert it was originally built on a van chassis, Is there any differences in the van and car chassis?

The chassis on my April 1937 AVH van is almost identical to that on my 1933 RP - no Ruby features to be seen at either end. However, there was so much mixing-and-matching with these vans that anything is possible.

probably got a nice ratio back axle...?

The old chassis was AVK 285something, so very late.
