It is still possible to collect parts cheaply, but should expect to have to do quite a lot of work to make them fit for use.
We're building a 1933 van from scratch, with a budget of £1,000. I had the benefit of a pile of scrap parts to start with, so you should realistically expect to double that, but it can be done.
I had wondered whether, when the time comes, to register it fitted with a rough RP saloon body and then re-body it as a van, but I get the impression now that an accurate replica van with an original front end and floorpan shouldn't be too difficult to register.
