A man has converted a bottle of beer into a camper van - in just five deals.

Pete Genders wanted the motor home so he could take his wife Verity on a second honeymoon.

He set up a website offering a £2.69 beer and vowed to trade up until he had the van.

Five months later Pete, 28, got the keys to a W-reg VW camper worth £1,500.

He admitted: "I never expected to do so well."

In his first deal, Pete swapped the Lincoln GrALE beer for a day as a local newspaper editor. He exchanged that to become a co-host of a radio show. He swapped that for tickets for The Zutons.

According to the Mirror, Pete, of Lincoln, said: "One Zutons fan even asked if I fancied a night with his girlfriend."

He eventually went on to own a £500 Citroen which he finally exchanged for the camper van.
