Bristol couple Sam and Rachel Dix spent more than £35,000 and took more than 800 hours of labour to import and convert a big yellow American school bus into a new home - and finished it just in time for Rachel to give birth in it.
The massive 37ft long vehicle was shipped from New York to Southampton and then taken to a farm in the Somerset countryside near Bristol, where carpenter Sam got to work stripping it out and creating everything you need for a home on wheels, including bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and lounge.
And days after the job was done, heavily pregnant Rachel went into labour and gave birth to a baby boy - their second child - with ‘American school bus’ cited as his birthplace on the birth certificate.
