I'm sure I saw car turntables being sold years ago. Supposedly you
could operate it by hand. I know I saw one for motorbikes at the BMF
show. There's not quite enough room in my shed to swing the bike
around.

I also recall a rotating house (Tomorrow's World?). I think the idea
was to get maximum solar benefit, but it's got to be expensive. Then
there's the issue of all the services (electric, water, sewage etc).
You could confuse the postman though ;-)
