George Clarke's Amazing Spaces
60 mins long.
(Thursday 24 October on Channel 4)

In the first episode of this new series celebrating the extraordinary world of small design spaces, George Clarke meets a couple who plan to transform a 60s ambulance into a campervan.

S2-Ep1: Bertie Blue

Is it possible to convert a 60s ambulance into a campervan for a family of six?

It might be interesting? :dance:

What are your thoughts?
 
If someone else is doing it, should be good.

If he (or those being employed by the production company) is doing it, it will take the whole series, cost a fortune & will have at least one really stupid idea.

You can see a video clip on the website via the pasted link,

I thought it would be a nice bit of armchair campervan building.

So sit down in your armchair with a drop of your favourite brew and lets see how it turns out?:cool1:
 
Don't expect too much DETAIL on the programme. It'll simply be made to be as entertaining to Joe public as possible.
Will show them dismantling the heap at the beginning and then pretty much straight to the finished article with lots of slow arty panning over designer fittings etc. Might still be quite 'inspiring' though, I guess.
 
You can see the whole episode on the website, I reckon. I watched it two nights ago. It was 47 mins long.

The guy made a very good job of his bus. However it is an "entertainment" programme mainly filled up with waffle or the presenter acting like a twat. Great for filling up time, but don't expect too many details or hard facts about the conversions, that's all glossed over in favour of appeal to a wider audience.
 
I know - it was a genuine cross post - I hadn't seen yours when I posted.
 
ten grand !! £10,000 to fit a little box like that ! should be quite nice!,can't wait !
 
Watching it now and can't believe the sheer stupidity of the couple with NO MONEY buying a clapped out TINY ambulance that will cost a FORTUNE to maintain, has cost them £1500 just to get the engine started, will cost £10k to convert and is meant for their family of SIX!
Where do these idiots come from? They're going to go through all this trouble and end up having to sell it.
 
Gas bottle situated inside the internal cupboard. No external ventilation?
 
best is they think they couldnt take the family away for less than a 1000 quid a week with out the ambulance .
best they dont come away with us for 6 months . ha ha .
mind it would only be 26 grand . ha ha .
the gas bottle in cupboard like that is and was common for years . almost every uk camper untill recent never had a gas locker seperate .

crumbs the prices they quoted where stupid and the price they paid for it could have go a modern one for that sort of money ok it wouldnt have had the character and there wasnt a lot of storage space as where do they keep the duvet sleeping bargs ok under the seat but where the food storrage etc clothes and didnt look like the gas bottle was even secured
 
Where do they store the mattresses, bedding, food, clothes, outdoor jackets, boots, buckets and spades, etc etc. those four seat boxes must be bottomless!

Haha, cross post with the one above
 
£13,400 for that! Imagine what they could have got straight off eBay! Silly sods.
 
now I've seen it finished,it looks fun for the kids,but i'm otherwise underwhelmed for £13400,but like the woman said,she needs at least a grand a week to go on holiday [!!??] I thought it was dopey thing,no space,little storage,no loo,wildcamping was out of the question,so they'll still be paying a fair bit on campsites. thought the egg a bit arty but well made,loved the aquarium
 
more room in your daughter ambulance liked the interior pond also couldn't spell the proper name for it could have copied mr browns spelling
 
Personally they just wanted their 5mins of fame so brought a rabbit that ended up costing them £13.400. Go on eBay and see what they could have got for that money with a toilet and shower included, with 4 kids I think that would have been a necessity, more than an underpowered old ambulance, or perhaps their st*t don't stink??

Thought the Egg was far more interesting and as for the aquarium what a boring place for the poor fish, no vegetation or stimulus for them.
 
£2800 for the vehicle. I know classic vehicles can fetch silly money but the buyer saw them coming with a huge grin on his face. Yes the refit was very well done and it should be since they paid around 10k for someone to do it for them. I hope they get full enjoyment out of the vehicle, for what it's cost them.
