An idea to try and transform something rather unexpected, a vehicle that used to be seen on our motorways, into something spectacular that people want to stay in has become less of a unique circumstance, especially thanks to TV programmes such as George Clarke's Amazing Spaces.
Coaches and buses, horse boxes and fire engines have all been bought as rusty, sad and dilapidated vehicles destined for scrap but rescued by optimistic renovators who want to revive them, and some do it with a nationwide television audience watching too.
Away from the TV screens many people are working away to bring their own unique ideas and creativity to the conversion of a rust bucket vehicle, but probably not many have turned to the army for inspiration.
