THE LAST ONE?
Update
March 2026
Since finishing the restoration of the Bedford Truck at the end of 2025 we are currently taking a break from filming but hope to resume again later this year (2026).
Although we are ‘off air’ at the moment we are still busy laying the groundwork ready for Part 2 of the House Truck build so stay tuned by subscribing to our channel over on You Tube and be the first to know when we are back.
In the meantime, here are some of our favourites from the last 5 years, with some really old favourites from the boat and Ford pick-up era at the bottom of the page.
Enjoy!
