BILLY ON GEORGE CLARKE'S AMAZING SPACES
Billy made his first television appearance on George Clarke's Amazing Spaces in January 2019.
Since the show aired he has been seen at many classic car shows and won many prizes, from Best in Class to Best in Show, as well as being shown at the NEC Classic Car Show, and in 2020 he featured in a national newspaper article about luxury campervan glamping in the UK.
Billy is a unique British camper van - a conversion of a 1970 Morris Minor Pick-Up and a 1960 Fisher Holivan Junior caravan.
A celebration of British design and engineering heritage, he has been fully restored to the highest standard.

How did I come to restore a classic camper van, and be filmed for TV in the process?
Four years ago I took one of my biggest ever risks, giving up the security of a salary to create a new, independent life. From combine harvesters to tiny home on wheels, learn more about My Journey.
And find out more about filming with Amazing Spaces, Billy's History, and the story of Billy's Restoration.
I hope you enjoy the experience!

INTERIOR DESIGN
Since completing Billy's restoration, I have continued to follow my passions, and love of great design.
As well as restoring classic campervans, I work as an interior designer, and restore vintage furniture, make unique pieces and bespoke commissions.
I have many years' exerience of designing houses and interior spaces, and restoring and collecting vintage items. And I now have the pleasure of creating wonderful designs for others.
