Man builds his own Boatmobile

A British man has spent £2,000 (€2,266) converting a car into a Boatmobile.

Shaun Atkinson from Blackpool turned his motor into a speedboat, which has now been transformed to look like the Robin Reliant David Jason's character Del Boy drives in BBC One comedy 'Only Fools and Horses'.

The car - which is legal to drive on the road - is thought to be one of only three known three-wheeler boat-cars.

Shaun said: "My wife thinks I'm strange but I supposed you can't blame her because of what we drive around in.

"Sadly we can't take the car into the sea but that doesn't matter. Everyone keeps staring at us – so much so we might have the best tourist attraction in town."
