Update
July 2026
Since finishing the restoration of the Bedford Truck at the end of 2025 we are currently taking a break from the big House Truck Project whilst we raise the funds to continue.
You can currently find us hard at work on the Old Ford Truck over in the workshop on our You Tube Channel right now as we are giving the old girl a bit of a makeover getting her ready to sell.
And on this page you can also find 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!
