Not sure it'll get £40k and not sure how I would value it but from what I can see it's very well done.
A very unusual self build PVC

Don't often see a drop down bed in a self-build, let alone an electric one.
I would question the "highest spec possible" though? Sorry, but if someone makes a statement like that, they have to be willing to hear any disagreements ....
A pair of 115Ah Lead-Acid Excid Batteries is not the highest spec possible. Nowadays, people would expect Lithium if it were a top-spec camper. They are not even the best Lead Acid batteries possible fitted.
Using a Sargent EC328 as your DC-DC Split Charge is also not close to highest spec. That is a fairly poor DC-DC charger. No mention of Mains Charger so assuming EC328 is also doing that still. Again, fairly poor.
If someone wanted to change from the Lead batteries to Lithiums, they would need to add in a B2B and a better Mains Charger as well.
But that aside, I like the sound of it

Did anyone notice the drop down bed was utilising full extension drawer sliders for rigidity?

Sorry Kev but I am not impressed at all with it.

Nor me but I did like the workmanship, and a few of the little inventive cubby holes.

Strange that the number plates been tampered with on the front but not at the back!
These hi top Sevel vans get used as A&E Ambulances, secondhand they are popular conversion which have massive amounts of head height I have worked on a lot of them.
They are ideally suited for a drop down bed but in the case of this van that bed looks oddly placed and pretty impractical, access looks awkward especially for a wee break, and there does seem to be a great deal of height above the mattress to sit up!
